Tigers are solitary [[predator]]s, capable of easily killing prey as large as a [[buffalo]] or a [[yak]], or as small as a [[rabbit]] or [[lemur]].  They can sometimes kill domestic livestock, including [[cattle]].  These predatory acts are a common justification for the hunting of tigers to near extinction.

Tigers are almost unique among the great cats in that they are fond of swimming. Though not as arboreal as the [[leopard]], they can climb trees. They can jump almost their entire body length and some can run as fast as 40 miles per hour.

They can make horizontal leaps of up to 33 feet (10 meters) although half that distance is more typical, and can sprint in short bursts of 35 to 40mph depending on subspecies.<ref>http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Panthera_tigris.html</ref>
