4 Tiger skull
By Safia
“The tiger is in the cat family and is a carnivore which means it only eats meat.
The tiger skull, like all skulls, is designed to protect its brain and allows for maximum strength in its jaw.
The tigers' teeth (the upper canines) can reach up to 8cm in length helping them catch their prey effectively.
