My favorite animal is a tiger! I love cats. If I was an animal I'd want to be a tiger.
The scientific name of the tiger is Panthera tigris.  Tigers are really cool.  What do you like about them so much?
I like the way they look and move and how they are so graceful, yet strong. I like white tigers a lot actually.
The tiger is also related to the panther, lion, leopard and jaguar as part of Genus Panthera.  I teach Biology.  Do you like any other relatives of the Tiger?
