A tiger is a large carnivorous mammal belonging to the Felidae family. Known for its striking orange coat with black stripes, the tiger is the largest member of the big cat family. Tigers are solitary hunters and are found primarily in Asia, inhabiting various ecosystems such as forests, grasslands, and wetlands. They are apex predators, mainly preying on ungulates like deer and wild boar. Tigers are not only culturally significant in many societies but are also endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, and decline in prey populations, prompting global conservation efforts.
