Tigers are one of the most powerful creatures in the animal world. When mentioning tigers, many people often think of their powerful eyes when hunting.

It is no coincidence that tigers are known as the “King of the Jungle”. Tigers can jump up to 10 meters and take down prey 5 times their weight. Tigers have the largest fangs of any big cat, nearly 8 cm long. 

In addition, tigers’ night vision is 6 times better than humans. Tigers’ roars are transmitted at infrasonic frequencies, lower than the human hearing threshold, so tigers can hear this sound from 3 km away. Photo: Wallhere.com 

Overall, tigers are agile, with flexible bodies designed for running, jumping and climbing. Muscular forelimbs, retractable claws, strong jaws, sharp teeth and keen senses make them incredible hunters in the wild. Photo Wildworld

Tigers are carnivores, they can eat any animal. The fact that they are not picky eaters has a lot to do with their tongues. This is a close-up image of a tiger’s “spiky” tongue. Just looking at it shows how much damage it can do to the flesh of its prey. Photo: Animal Planet 

The tiger’s tongue is covered with small, hard, hooked bumps called barbs – making it an ideal scraper for scraping flesh off the bones of its prey when eating. Photo: Animal Planet

The fearsome barbs on the tiger’s tongue are actually their hidden weapons. When a tiger kills its prey and begins to enjoy its meal, a piece of meat will inevitably get stuck on the prey’s bones, at which point the tiger’s tongue has the function of scraping the meat off the bones. Photo: Seaworld

In addition, tigers are actually animals with very shaggy fur. To become smoother, they have to use their tongues with sharp barbs growing in the same direction to groom their fur and clean their “wings”. Photo: Wildlifejustice 

In general, the tiger’s tongue is a fearsome existence. Thanks to this special tongue, they consume a huge amount of protein, thereby helping them become one of the most powerful creatures on Earth, the true “King of the Jungle”. Photo: Sandiegozoo
