Our Plastic Tiger

This engaging, realistic-looking plastic tiger miniature is made of sturdy, solid plastic. Its tail is somewhat flexible and rubbery, and its legs will flex very slightly. This replica has elaborate detail and is painted orange with the typical black stripes of all tigers. Our miniature tiger has a beautifully detailed face with somewhat orange eyes, a dark pink tongue, and yellowish teeth. It measures 7 inches from its light pink nose to the tip of its upturned tail. It appears to be vocalizing and intent on something in front of its intense gaze. This tiger can be used as a toy, kept as a collectible figurine, or added to a shoebox diorama for a school project. This tiger replica can be used as an educational toy to help children learn about endangered species and about wildlife on our planet. Check out our other tiger toys and gifts.

 

About Tigers

Although tigers (Panthera tigris) are so familar to us that we think they will be around forever, tigers are among the most seriously endangered of all animals. Three of the nine subspecies have already become extinct, and several of the six remaining are critically endangered. Tigers are the largest of the world's big cats. Their native habitats are in eastern and southern Asia. Tigers are carnivores, and are even feared by humans for their skill and natural tendencies as killers. They are heavy, well-muscled animals than can take down almost any prey they choose. But tigers are also a necessary part of any ecosystems in which they are found. It is important to remember that every part of the natural world plays its part. Not only are they feared, but they are to be admired. The tiger is certainly one of the most astonishingly beautiful animals on Earth, and one that has captivated human imaginations since the beginning of storytelling. Tigers may live 10 to 15 years in the wild, but can live over 20 years in captivity. The largest is the Siberian tiger, and the most numerous is the Bengal tiger. As odd as it may seem, many tigers swim and enjoy the water.
