Min - Korean Tiger

Koran Tiger is one of the most dangerous carnivores in Korea, while, it has been thought that it is an extinct animal. According to a report which is recorded about it, they were living in a dense woods. Those body lenght are usually grown up til 2m but the longest one is 3m 90cm, they have been found so far.
Long times ago, Korean tiger is quite close to Korea culture because there are so many orally narrated story with them in Korea. For example, the shape of Korea on a map, it seems to be a Tiger, which is the same example as Italy. they are very good at climbing trees and swimming. Moreover, only when they are hungry, do they hunt and after eating foods, they do not eat anything for a long time. The natural lifespan of a Korean Tiger is 15 to 25 years but when they are 4 year olds, they are physically full-grown. Fortuntely, we are able to see them only in Zoo.
