The Tiger is Terman's Mascot!
Do you know how many tigers there are in Africa?
"The answer is zero! And there never have been any wild tigers in Africa. That fact comes as a surprise to most people. Lions, leopards, and cheetah are the big cats in Africa, along with a few less familiar feline cousins. Tigers are strictly Asian cats.
Easily recognized by its coat of reddish-orange with dark stripes, the tiger is the largest wild cat in the world. The big cat weighs up to 720 pounds stretches 6 feet long, and has a 3-foot-long tail. The powerful predator generally hunts alone, able to bring down prey such as deer and antelope.
No two tigers have the same stripes; they are like fingerprints. That is how scientists recognize them."
