The tiger is without a doubt one of nature's most awesome creatures. The average male measures almost ten feet in length from the nose to the tip of the tail, and is powerful enough to bring down prey twice its size with relative ease. The first time you see a tiger roaming the forests of India, it's easy to understand why these magnificent cats have provided so much inspiration.
Throughout recorded history nature's predators have been the most grossly misunderstood and unjustly persecuted creatures in the animal kingdom. Most cultures viewed them as nothing more than cruel and evil vermin to be exterminated. But today we are finally able to see nature's hunters in a different light. Now we realize that a healthy ecosystem requires a healthy balance of predators.
By strict definition predators are animals that eat other animals, but the role that they play in nature goes far beyond that. They expertly control the quantity and quality of animal populations below them in the food chain. But life at the top of the food chain is not easy. Predators must rely on their hunting skills for day to day survival.
