Tigers are the largest species of wild cats found
anywhere in the world. Like other members of the Panthera
genus they are classified as mammals. Males have been
known to inhabit and protect a home area of up to 100
square kilometers.
Tigers are one of the strongest swimmers of all cats.
If their potential prey enters the water they will take
chase into the water themselves. |
