 {{Wikipedia|Tiger}}
-The tiger (''Panthera tigris'') is the largest living cat species and a member of the genus Panthera - it is most recognisable by its dark vertical stripes on orange-brown fur with a white underside. Tigers are apex predators that primarily prey on ungulates such as deer and wild boar; they are territorial and generally solitary, but social predators. The tiger was first scientifically described in 1758, and is among the most recognizable and popular of the world's megafauna; it is the national animal of India, Bangladesh, Malaysia and South Korea.

The tiger was first scientifically described in 1758, and is among the most recognizable and popular of the world's megafauna, being the national animal of India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and South Korea.
-Tigers were once widespread over much of Asia's landmass some centuries ago; today, the tiger is an endangered species due to habitat destruction, habitat fragmentation, poaching, and human–wildlife conflict. Its habitat range stretches from Siberian temperate forests to subtropical and tropical forests on the Indian subcontinent, Indochina and Sumatra. Tigers featured prominently in the ancient mythology and folklore of cultures throughout its historic range, with many symbolic depictions continuing to the modern day.
