Unlike most cats, tigers love water
All types of cats can swim. But none of them come to mind to go into the water unless absolutely necessary, ie only when it comes to survival. No one, except for the Tigers, who take great pleasure in swimming and can sit in the water for an hour.
Tigers love water because of the hot climate in which they live. Water - a simple and effective way to lower their body temperature, and the Tigers are willing enjoy them, carefully avoiding contact with moisture in the eyes and nostrils. The same applies to other cats who are living in conditions of heat: lions, jaguars, ocelots in particularly hot denёk can also get into the water.
Cats living in temperate and cold climates (snow leopards, bobcats, cougars, and so on. D.) Is firmly of the opinion that the reservoirs - a fish, a noble representative of the cat family there to do absolutely nothing.
