Information Typical orange tigers have round pupils and yellow irises. Like domestic cats, tiger claws are retractable. Tigers often mark their territory by scratching on trees. A tiger's tail is 3 to 4 feet long, about half as long as its body. Tigers use their tails to communicate with other tigers. The size of a tiger's territory depends on how much prey there is to eat. For example, in some parts of India where there is plenty of prey, a male tiger only needs eight to sixty square miles. In Sumatra, where there is less prey, a male tiger may need as much as 150 square miles. And in Siberia, where there is little prey to be found, male tiger territories are as large as 400 square miles.
