    Highlight the key information

    Tiger (Panthera tigris) - largest member of the cat family,


    rivalled only by the lion 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 is the largest, measuring up to 4 metres
    (13 feet) in length and weighing up to 300 kg (660 pounds).
    The Bengal tiger is the most numerous and accounts for
    about half of the total tiger population. Tigers from the south
    are smaller than those from the north.

    Fur and colouring


    The Sumatran tiger is bright reddish tan, beautifully
    marked with dark, almost black vertical stripes. The
    underparts, the inner sides of the legs and parts of the
    face area are whitish. The rare Siberian tiger has longer,
    softer, paler fur. White tigers occur from time to time,
    mainly in India. Black tigers are very rare, and have mainly
    been sighted in Myanmar and Bangladesh. The tiger has
    no mane, but in older males the hair on the cheeks is
    rather long.

    Paws and claws


    Tigers have large padded feet that enable them to silently
    stalk prey in the jungles. Tiger claws are up to 10 cm long
    and are used to grasp and hold onto prey. The four curved
    claws and extra dewclaw on each paw help the tiger to
    grip even large prey very effectively. They also enable the
    tiger to scale trees quickly; however, the curvature of the
    claws and the tiger’s weight are a hindrance when
    climbing back down.
