Welcome to my "animal horror movies" series, where I ask you what animals deserve their own horror movies and why they do or don't! Inspired by @NorthwestRider and his animal-themed questions.
The lion is the king of the jungle, but Simba is about to get dethroned. Because there is one cat that's bigger, stronger, and more evil than the lion: The tiger.Like I said, tigers are larger than lions, ranging from 9 and a half to 12 feet long. To make matters worse, tigers can be 600 pounds of fur and muscle. And best believe they know how to use it! A swipe from their paw can have 10,000 pounds of force, which can crush a bear's skull or break its spine.
In case you STILL don't get how serious that is, that's 2000 pounds stronger than the bite of Tyrannosaurus Rex, which had the strongest bite out of all land animals. Speaking of which, tigers have a bite force of 1000 pounds per square inch, much stronger than a lion's 650. Oh, and good luck trying to escape a tiger if it's chasing you! They can run at 30-40 miles per hour, meaning that not even Usain Bolt can outrun them. You think a big wall is gonna save you? Tigers can jump 10 feet high, and have a 25-foot long jump. Oh, and they can swim at 4 to 6 miles per hour, meaning they're faster than the average Olympic swimmer.
So they can outrun, outjump, AND outswim you.Tigers are especially aggressive big cats and will NOT tolerate humans' bullshit. Also, they're incredibly vengeful and will get revenge on someone who wronged them, even if it takes years. In 1997, a Russian hunter wounded a male Siberian Tiger and stole his kill.
In response, the tiger tracked down his cabin, destroyed everything inside, and waited for him to come home. When he did 3 days later, the tiger mauled him to death and ate his mutilated corpse. So, should tigers get their own horror movies, or not?

Also, one more ability I forgot to mention: A tiger's roar can cause anyone who hears it to experience crippling fear, including experienced trainers. And the roar is ultrasound, meaning that its frequency lower than the normal limit of human hearing.
To make matters worse, ultrasounds can pass through solid objects like walls, bones, and even bodies. In other words, you're not just gonna HEAR the roar. You're also going to FEEL it.

And finally, a tiger's roar is 114 decibels, which is as loud as rock music at a concert. The roar can also be heard from 2 miles away. So if a tiger roars, you WILL hear it. You WILL feel it. You WILL fear it.
Hope these last few facts help you make your answers!
Yeah, people have been thinking tigers are nice for far too long. Tigger, Tony the Tiger etc. Tigers kill people like crazy. They should make a new Friday the 13th where a tiger kills everybody and Jason. Jason Voorhees would piss himself if a tiger was after him.
