The tiger (Panthera tigris) is a large and powerful carnivorous mammal belonging to the Felidae family. Tigers are native to Asia and are found in a variety of habitats, including tropical forests, grasslands, and wetlands.

Tigers are the largest of all cats, with males weighing up to 660 pounds (300 kilograms) and standing up to 3.3 feet (1 meter) tall at the shoulder. They have a distinctive orange coat with black stripes, which serves as camouflage in their natural habitat. Tigers also have white fur on their bellies and on the backs of their ears, which helps to communicate with other tigers.

Tigers are solitary and territorial animals, and they hunt alone at night. Their diet mainly consists of large mammals, such as deer, wild pigs, and buffalo. They are also known to occasionally attack humans, particularly in areas where their natural prey has become scarce.

There are several subspecies of tiger, including the Bengal tiger, Siberian tiger, Indochinese tiger, Malayan tiger, South China tiger, and Sumatran tiger. Unfortunately, all subspecies of tiger are considered endangered due to habitat loss, poaching for their fur and body parts, and conflict with humans. Conservation efforts are underway to protect and preserve the remaining tiger populations.
