Made with Xara Web Designer Indian Tigers adore water, and they are very powerful swimmers and along with the Jaguar from South America are quite at home in the water. They are powerful swimmers and can easily cross rivers 6-8 kms wide and have even been known to swim distances of up to 29 km to offshore islands. In an Indian summer, temperatures can soar to well over 100F degrees for weeks on end. The Tiger can spend the whole day beside a water hole or lake, not only to regularly quench it’s thirst but also as a means of cooling off from the effects of the scorching heat. They blend seamlessly with the grasses and rocks beside the water, this ability makes the other animals very tense when they come to slake their thirst.
