Panthera tigris, commonly called Tiger, is a large cat species. It is identified by its black vertical stripes in orange fur. It is a ferocious predator.
Tigers come under endangered species of animals, if proper care for preservation is not taken, these would become extinct very soon. India is home to 70% of the world's population of tigers. Due to the rising concerns about the remaining population of tigers, projects were based on wildlife conservation which has resulted in an increase in the total number of living wild tigers.
