Tiger usually grow to lengths of more than nine feet and can be bigger than the largest lion. They have great strength. They clutch their prey to them, holding on with their claws, and depend on the crushing bite of their powerful jaws. They swim very well and can often be splashing about in water on very hot days, as they apparently suffer from the heat. When the air is cool, however, they avoid wet or damp vegetation. They can climb, but do not approach the leopard’s ability in this. They can survive in rocky areas but generally prefer to stay on level ground. They are not as well equipped with senses as one might expect. They apparently depend on their hearing while hunting. Their eyesight is not particularly good, and they cannot spot prey until it moves.

“Human rights” is a fairly new term for what was formerly called “the rights of man.” It was Eleanor Roosevelt in the 1940s who promoted the use of the expression “human rights” once she discovered, through her work in the United Nations, that the rights of men were not considered in some parts of the world to include the rights of women. The “rights of man” at an earlier date had itself replaced the original name “natural rights”, in part, perhaps, as the concept of natural law, with which the concept of natural rights was logically connected, had become a subject of controversy.
