The Tiger is Terman's Mascot!

"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."
