About the Tiger

Tigers are the largest living cats and one of the most iconic big cat species. Native to various parts of Asia, tigers are known for their distinctive orange coat with black stripes, each pattern unique like a fingerprint. These powerful predators are excellent swimmers and climbers, with muscular bodies and long canine teeth. Tigers are solitary animals, typically hunting alone at night. They have excellent night vision, with eyes that are six times more sensitive to light than human eyes. Tigers play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of their ecosystems, but all subspecies are considered endangered due to habitat loss and poaching. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect these magnificent animals, symbols of strength and beauty in many cultures.
