tiger definition and meaning

What is a "tiger"?

The tiger is a magnificent big cat known for its stunning appearance and unparalleled strength. With its distinctive coat of orange fur and black stripes, the tiger is instantly recognizable. Tigers have a muscular body, a long tail for balance, and sharp teeth and claws for capturing and killing their prey. They are known for their exceptional hunting skills and are apex predators in their natural habitats. Tigers are primarily solitary animals that inhabit diverse ecosystems such as forests, grasslands, and swamps in various parts of Asia. They are carnivorous and primarily hunt large ungulates, but they are also known to prey on smaller mammals and occasionally fish. Tigers are highly endangered and conservation efforts are underway to protect them from threats such as habitat loss and poaching.
