Tigers

The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest cat species, reaching a total body length of up to 3.3 metres (11 ft) and weighing up to 306 kg (670 lb). It is the third largest land carnivore (behind only the Polar bear and the Brown bear). Its most recognizable feature is a pattern of dark vertical stripes on reddish-orange fur with lighter underside. The global population in the wild is estimated to number between 3,062 to 3,948 individuals, down from around 100,000 at the start of the 20th century.
Tigers are among the most recognisable and popular of the world's charismatic megafauna. They have featured prominently in ancient mythology and folklore, and continue to be depicted in modern films and literature. There are 6 subspecies of tiger: Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris), Indochinese tiger (Panthera tigris corbetti), Malayan tiger (Panthera tigris jacksoni), Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae), Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica), South China tiger (Panthera tigris amoyensis).
