Malayan Tiger Female named Hutan. Mother of four male cubs
Link to Cincinnati Zoo..............
One of six living subspecies of tiger, the Malayan tiger wears the characteristic striping pattern of black stripes on orange and white that provides excellent camouflage in the forest. Using its quiet stalking ability, a tiger will ambush large prey, often pouncing on it from the rear. Other than females with their young, tigers are solitary and come together only to mate. Each tiger defends its own territory from others of the same gender. Territories must be large to provide enough prey for a tiger to eat. As more and more forests disappear, tigers struggle to maintain a territory with sufficient prey.
A tiger may travel up to 20 miles a night in search of prey.
Unlike most cats, tigers seem to enjoy swimming and soaking in water.
A tiger’s roar can be heard up to two miles away.
One out of every 10,000 tigers will lack the orange coloring. These white tigers are not albinos; they simply express a recessive gene.

It's late so I won't be on Flickr long. I wasn't able to be on Flickr after doing a lot of housework and than being stopped because of storms here. I had a huge branch come down from one of my trees in my backyard that had to be moved so my dogs could get outside. My son-in-Law was nice an stopped over and took care of it. He plans to help us out and come back over tomorrow evening to cut it up so it can be moved easier. Its a good thing he's a strong man because the darn branch was very heavy. Always something going on around my house. Never a dull moment. Anyway I want to apologize to you all for not being here today. Thanks for all your kind comments in spite of my absence.Please have a nice night of sweet dreams and a super day tomorrow. Hugs!
