Tigers st<strong>and</strong> more than 3 feet tall at the shoulder <strong>and</strong> are<br />

about 9 feet long. They weigh from 400 to 600 pounds.<br />

Tigers are usually the top animal predators in their<br />

territories, <strong>and</strong> have been known to kill bears, crocodiles,<br />

giant snakes, wolves, <strong>and</strong> even other great cats. Even<br />

humanoids are far from safe, especially in cases where<br />

a tiger has developed a taste for humanoid f lesh. Tigers<br />

prefer terrain with plenty of cover <strong>and</strong> proximity to water<br />

as their hunting grounds.<br />

While the tiger itself is a fearsome<br />

predator, its strength <strong>and</strong> ferocity pales in<br />

comparison to that of the larger dire tiger.<br />

Known to many scholars as the smilodon <strong>and</strong><br />

to tribal societies as the saber-toothed tiger,<br />

the dire tiger is invariably one of the region’s top<br />

predators. Its defining feature is a pair of<br />

huge incisors that hang down like fearsome<br />

knives from the upper jaw, protruding<br />

menacingly even when the creature’s mouth<br />

is shut.<br />

These immense hunting cats grow to<br />

be over 12 feet long <strong>and</strong> can weigh up to<br />

6,000 pounds.<br />

This large tiger grumbles a warning as it crouches. Two saberlike<br />

fangs jut downward from its powerful jaws.<br />
