They are very agile creatures with excellent climbing abilities and exceptional swimmers whom often bathes in ponds and lakes, can cross rivers up to 7 km (4.3 mi) wide and can swim up to 29 km (18 mi) in a day.

Tigers roar can be heard 3 km (1.9 mi) away. They may roar three or four times in a row, and other tigers may respond in kind. Aggressive encounters involve growling, snarling and hissing. During an attack, an explosive "coughing roar" or "coughing snarl" is emitted through an open mouth and exposed teeth. When friendly they make soft, low-frequency snorting similar to purring in smaller cats.
When hunting tigers tend to simultaneously leap onto its quarry, knock it over, and grab the throat or nape with its teeth. Some tigers can reach speeds of about 49–65 km/h (30–40 mph) but only in short bursts. Horizontal leaps of up to 10 m (33 ft) have been reported, although leaps of around half this distance are more typical.
