Tigers / Los Tigres - Paperback

by Valerie Bodden (Author)

Tigers, or tigres, are some of the rarest and most stealthy big cats on Earth. This zoology title for children, filled with beautiful photos and factual life science text, examines the mammal's sharp teeth and other parts of its anatomy, hunting and feeding habits, life cycle, and cub care. Its forest and swamp habitats are described, too. An Asian myth explains why tigers have stripes. Part of Creative Education's popular Amazing Animals series, this bilingual edition supports elementary-aged dual language learners with side-by-side English and Spanish text, captions, on-page definitions, and an index.
