Five lesser known facts about tigers 🐅 

1. When grouped together, they are called an ambush or streak.
2. Unlike most other cats, tigers are great swimmers and enjoy spending time in the water.
3. Each tiger has a unique stripe pattern – just like human fingerprints. 
4. Tiger cubs are born completely blind and are completely dependant on their mothers.
5. Tigers can sprint at a speed of 60mph, but get exhausted quickly due to their weight and size.
