Intro:
I will be doing my report on tigers. Tigers have more than 100 stripes, and no two tigers have the same stripes. Another interesting thing about tigers is that the roar of a tiger can be heard more than a mile away. Tigers are also an endangered species.
Made of cells: Tigers are multicellular. They have skin cells, blood cells, ad brain cells. They are an animal cell.

They follow their mother out of the den at about 8 weeks old and become independent at 18 months of age. They leave their mother and start their lives on their own at about 2 ½ years on age.
