My favorite animal is a tiger! I love cats. If I was an animal I'd want to be a tiger.
The scientific name of the tiger is Panthera tigris.  Tigers are really cool.  What do you like about them so much?
I like the way they look and move and how they are so graceful, yet strong. I like white tigers a lot actually.
The tiger is also related to the panther, lion, leopard and jaguar as part of Genus Panthera.  I teach Biology.  Do you like any other relatives of the Tiger?
I like cheetah too, and lynx, called a bobcat in some places I believe?
Yeah.  Good job.  Tigers are considered apex predators because they feed on deer and bovids.  Cheetahs are interesting.
Apex predators...hmm I never heard of this term. I think cheetahs are one of the fastest animals on Earth.
Asia and China. Today's tiger range is fragmented, stretching from Siberian temperate forests to subtropical and tropical forests on the Indian subcontinent and Sumatra. The tiger is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List since 1986. As of 2015, the global wild tiger population was estimated to number between 3,062 and 3,948 mature individuals, down from around 100,000 at the start of the 20th century, with most remaining populations occurring in small pockets isolated from each other. Major reasons for population decline include habitat destruction, habitat fragmentation and poaching
for myself. They always said, 'I just want to expose you to some religious order and see if that's something you like'. So although my religious training was not really specific, I do feel spiritual things. If I stand on the side of the Grand Canyon and look down, it moves me in some way."
"Of course, it would be wonderful to talk with my parents again, who are, of course, deceased. It makes the idea of death much less scary.
