The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest cat species, most recognisable for their pattern of dark vertical stripes on reddish-orange fur with a lighter underside. Tigers once ranged widely across eastern Eurasia, from the Black Sea in the west, to the Indian Ocean in the south, and from Kolyma to Sumatra in the east.
The Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) is the most numerous tiger subspecies. It is the national animal of both India and Bangladesh. |
