0:19
Most formidable big
0:21
cats as apex predators Tigers rely on

their hunting strategy allowing them to
0:36
chase down prey across short

bursts to put this into perspective
0:49
that's about twice as fast as the
0:51
fastest human
0:53
Sprinter however they can only maintain
0:55
this speed for short distances typically
0:58
no more than 100 m
1:01
several factors contribute to the
1:03
Tiger's impressive
1:05
speed their muscular hind legs provide

powerful propulsion while their long
1:11
flexible spine allows for greater stride
1:15
length the Tiger's large cor pads also
1:19
offer excellent traction enabling quick
1:22
acceleration and sudden changes and
1:25
Direction but raw speed isn't the only
1:28
physical attribute that makes makes
1:30
Tigers such effective
1:31
Hunters their agility is equally
1:35
