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. The
species is classified in the genus Panthera with the lion, leopard, jaguar and snow
leopard. Tigers are apex predators, primarily preying on ungulates such as deer and
bovids. They are territorial and generally solitary but social animals, often requiring
large contiguous areas of habitat that support their prey requirements. This,
coupled with the fact that they are indigenous to some of the more densely
populated places on Earth, has caused significant conflicts with humans.
