Tigers are the largest Felines in the world, and most recognizable for their vertically striped fur patterns. They are, like most cats, carnivores who primarily prey on ungulates. They are territorial and generally solitary but social animals.
They are and have always been very popular in human culture, occurring in mythology and folklore and currently in films, literature and sports. They're often connected to symbols of strength, due to their powerful physique and striking looks.
These days we recognize six livingTiger subspecies; the Bengal or Indian Tiger, the Indochinese or Corbett's Tiger, the Malayan Tiger, the Siberian or Amur Tiger
