Tigers live in a variety of habitats, from tropical jungles to woodlands; they can even live in temperatures as cold as -40 degrees Fahrenheit. The five subspecies of tigers can be found in small areas of Asia, India, and Russia.

Tigers will eat almost anything, ranging from frogs to elephant calves, but a majority of their diet consists of various deer and pig species. Because most of their prey can only see in grey scale, the tiger’s orange fur blends perfectly into the green of the forest while the black stripes mimic patches of shade.

Tiger populations continue to decrease in the wild. One of the threats facing wild tigers is the heavy demand of tiger body parts in the Asian folk medicine market.
