Tigers are the world’s largest wild cats, with muscular bodies, large heads and paws, and long tails. Their orange fur is marked with black stripes that are usually vertical. Native to Asia, they range from Russia to Sumatra and mainland Southeast Asia. Tigers are powerful hunters with sharp teeth and strong jaws. They stalk large mammals like deer, buffalo, and antelope, then pounce and kill with a bite to the neck or head. Tigers are endangered across their range.
