Tigers are predominately solitary creatures and each individual or family unit will have its own territory.
Tigers are ‘stalk and ambush’ predators and their striped coat provides effective camouflage in tall grass and forests. Hunting mainly occurs at night and the principal prey consists of deer and wild pigs, although tigers prey on a variety of other animals. Unlike other species of cats, tigers are competent swimmers; they will readily enter the water, and can be found lying half submerged in streams and lakes in the mid-day sun.
Today, tigers have two main threats, poaching and habitat destruction. They are poached mainly to satisfy the demand for Traditional Chinese medical products. Habitat destruction is largely the result of increased demand for land as the human population grows.
