Tigers are large cats native to the Asian continent, with populations found across various habitats, from the tropical forests of India and Southeast Asia to the forests of Russia and China, and even the island of Sumatra. They are solitary, nocturnal predators that rely on camouflage and their powerful build to hunt prey like deer and wild pigs. While historically more widespread, tiger numbers have significantly declined, making them an endangered species with conservation efforts focused on protecting their habitats and combating poaching.Â
