Learn about tigers

This is what the day is all about! Did you know that wild tiger numbers have dropped by around 95% since the beginning of the 20^th century?

They are the biggest species of cat and can consume more than 80lbs of meat in one sitting.

Unlike most cats you’ll know, tigers like water and enjoy swimming to cool off.

Donate to tiger charities

Most zoos, safari parks and wildlife charities offer patrons the chance to donate.

They might also run “Adopt a tiger” programmes.

While it might not be a case of the tiger who came to tea, it’s one way that you can take an active step towards helping to protect tigers.

The adopt programmes could also make a great gift idea for tiger enthusiasts of all ages! 

Visit a tiger

As tigers aren’t native to the UK, if you see one if the streets, you’re having a really, really bad day.

However, there are plenty of zoos and wildlife parks that have these stripy creatures as residents.

DO YOUR WEEKENDS ALWAYS GO ACCORDING TO PLAN?

Check out where your local tiger hotspot can be found and give them a visit.

Watch tiger films

The weather isn’t always great for a zoo visit, it’s British summertime after all.

That doesn’t mean you can’t show tigers some appreciation from home.

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BINGO JACKPOTS

Some movie mentions with a tiger star include: Life of Pi and The Hangover.

Listen to tiger music

If you haven’t already guessed which song is going to be mentioned here, you’ve been living under a rock(y).

The song that put tigers on the musical map was definitely Survivor’s Eye of the Tiger.

Honourable mentions also go to ABBA’s Tiger, Katy Perry’s Roar and Emeli Sandé’s Tiger. 

SLOT RECOMMENDATIONS ACCORDING TO YOUR STAR SIGN

Dress like a tiger

White and orange with black stripes is a bold look. However, fortune favours the brave.

Even if you end up “accidentally” leaving the tiger mask at home, that doesn’t stop you from wearing orange, a tiger necklace or socks / a tie with tigers on.

Play tiger slot games

This is one strictly for adult tiger fans.
