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.
Project Survival’s Cat Haven promotes the conservation and preservation of wild cats in their native habitat by educating visitors and publicizing the work done by Project Survival Cat Conservation Group. Project Survival’s Cat Haven maintains an educational room at the facility for youth programs and an outreach program. The Cat Haven is designed to act as ‘base camp’ in the belief that preserving wild cats in their native habitat is the principle justification for maintaining them in captivity. Project Survival is engaged in fundraising, including the creation of endowments, to support wild life specialists and educators working in range countries.
