Tiger.

The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest living cat species and a member of the genus Panthera. It is most recognisable for its dark vertical stripes on orange fur with a white underside. An apex predator, it primarily preys on ungulates, such as deer and wild boar.Tigers can live in a range of environments, including the Siberian taiga, swamps, grasslands, and rainforests. They can be found anywhere from the Russian Far East to parts of North Korea, China, India, and Southwest Asia to the Indonesian island of Sumatr.

tiger, (Panthera tigris), largest member of the cat family felidae, rivaled only by the lion(Panthera leo) in strength and ferocity. The tiger is endangered throughout its range, which stretches from the Russian Far East through parts of north korea , china, india, and southeast asia to the Indonesian island of sumatra. The siberian, or Amur, tiger (P. tigris altaica) is the largest, measuring up to 4 metres (13 feet) in total length and weighing up to 300 kg (660 pounds). The Indian, or bengal, tiger (P. tigris tigris) is the most numerous and accounts for about half of the total tiger population. Males are larger than females and may attain a shoulder height of about 1 metre and a length of about 2.2 metres, excluding a tail of about 1 metre; weight is 160–230 kg (350–500 pounds), and tigers from the south are smaller than those of the north.

The indo-chinese (P. tigris corbetti), and sumatran (P. tigris sumatrae) tigers are bright reddish tan, beautifully marked with dark, almost black, vertical stripes. The underparts, the inner sides of the limbs, the cheeks, and a large spot over each eye are whitish

In our country the surveying of tiger  Coinciding with the Global Tiger Day on 29 July 2015, Bhutan launched the first nation-wide tiger census report, which estimates 103 wild tigers in the country. The tigers have been found between 150 meters to as high as 4,200 meters above sea level.

 
Tigers are Endangered. Over the last hundred years the global wild tiger population has dropped 97% from 100,00 to as few as 3,200.
 
Bhutan is fortunate to be one of the remaining 13 tiger countries. With 72% of the country under forest cover and over 50% under protected area status, tigers can be found from the warm subtropical forests in the south to the cold alpine forests in the north; from 100 meters to 4200 meters above sea level, making them the highest altitude tigers in the world.

However, despite Bhutan having prime conditions for tigers to thrive there are still many challenges. Globally the illegal wildlife trade had reached critical levels and poaching is a constant threat. Tigers also need large areas to roam and with many people living in and around forest areas this can lead to human tiger conflict.

In 2010 Bhutan joined the other tiger countries at the Tiger Summit in St Petersburg and committed to the most ambitious species conservation goal ever set: Tx2 – to double global wild tiger numbers by 2022.

 lastly,save tigers by you can donate your money to organizations that have their own tiger programs, such as Panthera, WWF, and Born Free. You can also adopt a tiger through these organizations, which will help fund conservation projects and protect tigers' habitat. Another way to save tigers is to stop deforestation and check your labels for sustainable palm oil, which is a major cause of habitat loss for tigers and other species. You can also take action on climate change and reduce your carbon footprint, which will benefit tigers and many other wildlife. If you know of any tiger crimes, such as poaching, buying, or trafficking, you should report them to the authorities.
