The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest species among the Felidae and classified in the genus Panthera. It is most recognisable for its dark vertical stripes on reddish-orange fur with a lighter underside. It is an apex predator, primarily preying on ungulates such as deer and wild boar. It is territorial and generally a solitary but social predator, requiring large contiguous areas of habitat, which support its requirements for prey and rearing of its offspring. Tiger cubs stay with their mother for about two years, before they become independent and leave their mother's home range to establish their own.
The tiger once ranged widely from the Eastern Anatolia Region in the west to the Amur River basin, and in the south from the foothills of the Himalayas to Bali in the Sunda islands. Since the early 20th century, tiger populations have lost at least 93% of their historic range and have been extirpated in Western and Central Asia, from the islands of Java and Bali, and in large areas of Southeast and South Asia and China. Today's tiger range is fragmented, stretching from Siberian temperate forests to subtropical and tropical forests on the Indian subcontinent and Sumatra. The tiger is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List since 1986. As of 2015, the global wild tiger population was estimated to number between 3,062 and 3,948 mature individuals, down from around 100,000 at the start of the 20th century, with most remaining populations occurring in small pockets isolated from each other. Major reasons for population decline include habitat destruction, habitat fragmentation and poaching. This, coupled with the fact that it lives in some of the more densely populated places on Earth, has caused significant conflicts with humans.
The tiger is among the most recognisable and popular of the world's charismatic megafauna. It featured prominently in ancient mythology and folklore and continues to be depicted in modern films and literature, appearing on many flags, coats of arms and as mascots for sporting teams. The tiger is the national animal of India, Bangladesh, Malaysia and South Korea.

The tiger is the biggest cat on earth, an animal native to Asia that stands out for being elegant, strong and fast.
In this article you will know everything you need to know about this beautiful and fierce animal: its origin and evolution, its most outstanding characteristics, places where it lives, who eats, how it reproduces, the types that exist and the main threats to That is subject.
According to archaeological and scientific studies, the oldest remains of tigers are between 1.6 and 1.8 million years old and were found on the island of Java.
It is believed that the tiger arrived in India and northern Asia about 10,000 years ago when the Pleistocene ended. On an island east of Beringia, on the island of Sakhalin and in Japan, some fossils dating back thousands of years were found.
The tiger whose scientific name is Panthera tigris, is a large animal species, the male is almost three meters long from the snout to the tip of the tail and weighs about 200 kg. While the female is approximately 2.7 meters long and weighs about 140 kg.
In addition to the size, the fully developed male is distinguished from the female by the long hairs it has on the cheeks.
Tigers are able to swim and they love water. In fact, some tigers are known to have swum more than five kilometers without stopping.
The color of its coat, which shines when it receives sunlight, varies from a yellowish brown to an orange red, has black stripes on its body and white spots on its amber eyes.
In contrast to the general coloration of the animal are its white parts: the belly, throat and the inner face of the limbs.
It is a very strong animal that can drag animal carcasses of about 225 kilos or more. In addition, it has an amazing jumping ability and in a single jump it can cover the distance of almost five meters.
The tiger is an animal native to Asia and it is to this continent where its natural habitat has been reduced.
Today it is found in about 14 countries among these India, China, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Russia, Thailand, Vietnam and Nepal.
In these countries there are different places among which are tropical forests, savannas, grasslands, evergreen forests, coniferous forests, mangrove areas and rocky terrain. Even some subspecies adapt to cold and low temperatures.
In any case, the perfect habitat for the tiger is that where there is a nearby water source, abundance of animals that can serve as food, and dense cover in which it can be camouflaged to hunt.
