They are white, black, maybe kind of grey, and have huge paws. They can pur like a kitten, but roar like a lion. But most of all, it's my favorite animal. The Siberian Tiger is a very beautiful, and interesting type of cat. Their life styles are fairly different from our, but have some similarities.
The Siberian Tiger has very unusual habits. Although cubs are exceptional, theses tigers usually live alone. Living alone alows the them to be able to sneak up on their prey, by this they can hunt better. And can provide more food for themselves.
They usually hunt in there territory. A tigers territory is aproximatly between 10 and 30 square miles. This varies depending on the amount of food available. Territories often over lap, and this also causes problems between these cats. There are between 5,000 and 7,000 wild tigers living across Asia. How could territories not over lap?
Female tigers usually mature around 3 years, then are ready to mate. Males mature a year later. When a female tiger is ready to mate, she lets the male tigers know by marking trees and such with her sent, and letting out loud roars. In temperate climates the female tiger goes into heat seasonally, but in Tropical climates they could go into heat a couple of times a year. A tiger can only reproduce when she is in heat. Tigers usually mate for aproximatly 103 days. After mating the male leaves, and doesn't come back to help raise the cubs. Males are generally intolerant of cubs, so the female raises the cubs alone. A tiger can have up to 3 cubs per each mating period, but one usually dies at birth.
Tigers have a very big diet, so it wouldn't be a good thing to come across one when its hungry. Although they prefer to feed on wild pigs, wild cattle, and several types of species of deer, there is no saying that they wouldn't attack a human if he/she was hungry. A tiger can eat up to 40 pounds at a time, and could survive without eating for several days. This is almost half of what I weigh.
Tigers are very healthy so they live pretty long lives. They averagely live for 8-15 years, but if they are catpured and raised in a zoo, they hae a chance of living for 16-20 years.
Although Siberian Tigers are beautiful and seem very playful, they can also be very dangerous. So just watch them from a distance. And capture the beauty of this intriguing creature.

Drinking and Driving
Everyone goes through a point in their life where they like to drink. Consequences... we never think about them, until it's to late. We always think that the bad things in life... will never happen to us. This is the way most teens think, so they don't think about things before they do them. For instance, drinking and driving. I could go on forever just listing the reason's why I am so against it, but I will narrow it down to three; how it affects you, how dangerous it is, and the fatality ratings.
Alcohol has high affects on your body. It affects; the way you think, messes with your vision, makes you unstable, and can even make you drowsy. Why would you want to drive if you were in these conditions? More like how could you? Most people can't drive drunk, but... they still do it, no matter how badly they are effected.http://www.abovetheinfluence.com/facts/drugs-alcohol.aspx?utm_campaign=paid-search&utm_source=google&utm_medium=search&utm_content=alcohol
Drinking and driving is very dangerous. When you get into that driver's seat after drinking, you are making a choice, and your not thinking about the consequences. You're not just putting yourself in danger, but your also endangering the lives of other's. What if you were to doze off and run off the road? You could be killed, you could cause an accident, and worst of all...what if you ran over a kid? How could you live with yourself? I know I couldn't.
Fatality ratings are through the roof, because of drink drivers. It may seem like fun at the time, but you could kill someone. You could go to jail for the rest of your life, just to have a little fun. Is it worth it? Your probably thinking, " Nothing like this will ever happen to me." No one ever does, and that's when it happens.

If you think that drinking and driving is okay, then that's your opinion. Just remember how dangerous it is, and think about what your doing before you get into that drivers seat. Are you ready to kill someone, because if you keep driving while drinking...it's bound to happen one day. You have your opinion, and I have mine. My opinion is: that driving while drunk is the most irresponsible thing anyone could do. And these days it's not just teens, who do you think they learn it from.
So before going out. Find a sober driver to take you home. The risks of hurting yourself or someone else, just isn't worth it. Here some videos to help support my beliefs. Could you imagine these things happening to you? Because they didn't think it would happen either.

Persuasive Writting
A lot of kids my age think there is nothing wrong with drinking and driving, but I am highly against it. Driving while intoxicated is very dangerous. You can't see clearly, and your reflexes arn't as quick. How would you feel if you killed someone while driving because you were drunk. I would feel terrible, and it would haunt me forever. Over 1 in 7 deaths caused by driving, are from drunk drivers. why drinking and driving is bad. So stay safe, choose to drink or choose to drive, but don't choose both.
Is this what you would expect to happen? No one expects it... It just happens.
