A tiger is a large carnivorous mammal and the biggest species in the cat family, Felidae. Its scientific name is Panthera tigris.

• Family: Felidae
• Genus: Panthera
• Species: tigris
• Average Size: Up to 10 feet long (including tail)
• Weight: 220–660 pounds, depending on the subspecies
• Lifespan: 10–15 years in the wild, up to 25 in captivity

Tigers are instantly recognizable by their orange coat with black stripes (though coloration varies by region). Each tiger’s stripe pattern is unique, like a fingerprint. They have muscular bodies, powerful jaws, and retractable claws, all built for hunting and killing large prey.

They’re native to Asia, found in:

• India and Bangladesh (Bengal tiger)
• Siberia (Amur tiger)
• Sumatra (Sumatran tiger)
• Parts of China and Southeast Asia

Tigers live in forests, grasslands, and mangrove swamps—anywhere there’s cover and enough prey.

They’re apex predators, mostly hunting large herbivores like deer, wild boar, and buffalo. They’re solitary hunters that rely on stealth and strength—stalking and ambushing prey rather than chasing.

Tigers are endangered. Only around 4,000 remain in the wild. They’re threatened by:

• Habitat loss
• Poaching (for fur, bones, and body parts used in traditional medicine)
• Human–wildlife conflict

A tiger’s roar can be heard from up to 2 miles away. They also mark territory with scent, scratch marks, and vocalizations.
