Tiger
The tiger (Panthera tigris) is a symbol of power and grace, and as the largest member of the cat family, it reigns as an apex predator. Found across Asia, tigers inhabit diverse landscapes ranging from the dense forests of India to the icy terrains of Siberia.
Tigers are solitary hunters, relying on their strength and stealth to ambush prey like deer, wild boar, and buffalo. Their muscular build allows them to take down animals many times their size. Each tiger has a unique stripe pattern, functioning as natural camouflage and an identifier for researchers.
Despite their power, tigers face significant threats, including poaching, habitat loss, and human-wildlife conflict. Conservation efforts such as India’s "Project Tiger" and international initiatives aim to preserve this magnificent species and its habitats.
