Tiger: Striped Majesty of the Jungle

The tiger, the largest and most powerful of the big cats, is a solitary and stealthy predator. Its orange coat, marked with bold black stripes, allows it to blend seamlessly into the dense vegetation of forests and grasslands. Tigers rely on their strength and patience to ambush prey such as deer and wild boar, making them one of the most efficient hunters in the wild.

Beyond their role as apex predators, tigers are keystone species, ensuring the balance of their ecosystems. However, habitat destruction, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict have brought them to the brink of extinction. Protecting their habitats and combating illegal hunting are vital to ensuring the survival of this majestic species.
