The tiger ( Panthera tigris ) is a species of carnivorous mammal in the Felidae family ( Felidae ) of the genus Panthera . Easily recognizable by its black-striped red fur, it is the largest wild cat and one of the largest terrestrial carnivores. The species is divided into nine subspecies with minor differences in size or behavior. Superpredator , it mainly hunts deer and wild boar, although it may prey on larger prey such as buffaloes . Until the 19th century , the tiger was reputed to be a man-eater . The social structure of tigers makes them a solitary animal; the male has a territory that encompasses the domains of several females and does not participate in raising the young.

The tiger is found throughout Asia , although its range has been greatly reduced since the beginning of the 20th century . The species is considered endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and is protected in all countries where it lives. Hunted until the middle of the 20th century, tiger populations have declined sharply, dropping from an estimated number of 100,000 individuals in 1900 to around 3,500 tigers, the majority of which live in India . The reduction of its habitat and poaching to supply traditional Chinese medicineare the main threats to the species.

“ King of beasts ” and Chinese zodiac sign , the tiger is also very present in Hindu mythology , where it is the mount of Durga . An emblematic figure representing strength and ferocity, this feline is depicted in many paintings , and has appeared in many musical and literary works : Shere Khan from Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book or Hobbes in the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip .
The tiger is the largest feline. It is also one of the largest predators on land, behind the kodiak bear and the polar bear . Its body is longer than that of the lion. The measurements of the tiger vary greatly from one subspecies to another: a male Sumatran tiger weighs no more than 140 kg for 2.3 meters in total length, while a Siberian tiger can reach 300 kg for 3.3 meters long [ 1 ] . The height at the withers of the tiger varies from 0.85 to one meter; its total length with the tail, from 2 to 3.7 meters, and its mass, from 65 to 300 kg [ 2 ]. The mass record is held by a Siberian tiger shot in 1950, which weighed 384 kg [ 3 ] .

The tiger's ears are rounded; their outer face is black with a large white spot in the middle [ 4 ] (this allows the young to spot and therefore follow their mother in the jungle). The pupils are round, the iris is golden to green in color, blue for the white tiger ( leucic form ). The nose is pink, with sometimes black spots; vibrissae are abundant on a short muzzle. The forehead is domed. The neck is covered with much denser and thicker fur forming a ruff, especially in the male. The caninesof the tiger are the longest of all current felines: they can reach nine centimeters. As in all members of the genus Panthera , the hyoid bone is partially ossified, allowing it to roar , a roar that carries up to 1 km [ 5 ] . Its claws can be up to 10 cm long [ 6 ] and are retractable.
