International Tiger Day is on July 29th, so join the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo to celebrate tigers around the
world! Practice your students’ critical thinking skills while they learn about the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo
tigers. The tigers love to jump far and up in the air, but have you wondered how they’re able to leap long
distance? Ask these variety of questions to engage your students even further:
How does a tiger travel?
Can you move like a tiger?
How fast do you think they can run?
How far can a tiger go in a single jump?
Why do you think they are able to leap far distances?
Go outside and draw a line on a pavement near an area of grass. Please encourage your students to jump
as far they can from the line onto the grass. They can run and leap from the line like a tiger usually would
leap. They are welcome to have three tries to jump as far they can if they’d like. Have your children mark
their landing with a stick and continue until everyone participated. Once the kids are finished jumping,
have them use the measuring tape to measure their leaping distance in feet and record on their
worksheet. Have them fill out the worksheet to their best ability.
How Are They Able to Leap So Far?
The tigers use their body adaptations such as
enlarged hind legs to help them jump. Their hind
legs are longer than their front legs, and their
bones are strong and dense to support the large
muscles in their bodies. This allows them to
jump forward about 25 feet in one jump. They
can land more quietly with their big padded front
paws. They can jump up to 16 feet into the air, which
means they can easily jump on top of an elephant’s head!
They can run at speeds of 35 to 40 mph for short distances.
The tigers have amazing abilities to survive in their environments
