TIGER.....(Panthera tigris)... a stalk-and-ambush hunter...

The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest cat species,

Most recognizable for its pattern of dark vertical stripes on reddish-orange fur with a lighter underside.
It is an good predator.
The tiger usually hunts by night and preys on a variety of animals, but it prefers fairly large prey such as deer and wild pigs.

As solitary animals, tigers establish and maintain their own territories, the size and nature of which vary with the number and distribution of prey, the presence of other tigers in the area, the nature of the terrain, the availability of water

The tiger is a stalk-and-ambush hunter, and the distinctive stripes are good camouflage in the long grass or wooded forests of their diverse habitat.
Dark stripes on a pale background break up the tiger’s outline as it lies in wait for prey to come near.
