2. Tigers
Tigers are the largest members of the cat family and are renowned for their power and strength.
The tiger is capable of killing animals over twice its size; it is one of nature’s most feared predators.
The roar of a Bengal tiger can carry for over 2km at night.
As well as game animals, it preys on wild boar, monkeys, lizards and occasionally porcupines.
Unlike other cats, tigers are good swimmers and often cool off in lakes and streams during the heat of the day.

3. Where Do They Live
Most Tigers live in Asia, specifically throughout Southeast Asia, China, Korea and Russia. Tigers like to live in swamps, grasslands, and rain forests.

4. Population
India holds over half the world's tiger population. According to the latest tiger census report released on March 28, by the National Tiger Conservation Authority, the current tiger population estimated is 1,706(i.e. ranging between a minimum of 1,571 to a maximum of 1,875).

5. Habitat Destruction
Tigers have lost 93% of their historical range. Their habitat has been destroyed, degraded and fragmented by human activities. The clearing of forests for agriculture and timber as well as the building of road networks and other development activities pose serious threats to tiger habitats.

6. Why Are They Endangered
The primary threats to the survival of Siberian tigers are poaching and habitat loss from intensive logging and development. The Siberian Tiger is classified as endangered by the IUCN. South China tigers (Panthera tigris amoyensis) are the smallest of all the tiger subspecies; it is also the most critically endangered.
