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. It is territorial and generally a solitary but social predator, requiring large contiguous areas of habitat to support its requirements for prey and rearing of its offspring. Tiger cubs stay with their mother for about two years and then become independent, leaving their mother's home range to establish their own.

In Indian culture, tigers play a significant role. It has long represented majesty, strength, beauty, and fierceness, which has been linked to courage and gallantry. In Hindu mythology, the tiger plays a vital role in Goddess Durga’s conveyance. This first glimpse of the tiger reminded me of the way Hobbes slept on a tree in that iconic comic strip (of Calvin and Hobbes fame) Captive tigers were bred with lions to create hybrids called liger and tigon. They share physical and behavioural qualities of both parent species. Breeding hybrids is now discouraged due to the emphasis on conservation. [46] The liger is a cross between a male lion and a tigress. Ligers are typically between 3 and 3.5m (10 and 12ft) in length, and weigh between 350 and 450kg (800 and 1,000lb) or more. [47] Because the lion sire passes on a growth-promoting gene, but the corresponding growth-inhibiting gene from the female tiger is absent, ligers grow far larger than either parent species. [48] Humans have a layer of dark pigment cells behind the retina which absorbs extra light, whereas tigers and other nocturnal animals have a layer of reflective tissuebehind the retina called tapetum lucidum, which provides a second opportunity for the eye to catch the light, thus improving their night vision manifolds. 6.
