Tiger

Habitat: Tigers live in Asia. Larger subspecies, such as the Siberian tiger, tend to live in northern, colder areas, such as eastern Russia and northeastern China.

Diet. Tigers eat a variety of prey ranging in size from termites to elephant calves. However, an integral component of their diet are large-bodied prey weighing about 20 kg (45 lbs.) or larger such as moose, deer species, pigs, cows, horses, buffalos and goats. Tigers are carnivores which means they eat meat.

Threats. Unfortunately, the threats that are driving tigers closer to extinction all stem from us, man. Tigers are threatened by habitat loss, conflict with humans, andpoaching to feed to the illegal trade in tiger parts and products.
