The tiger ( Panthera tigris ) is the largest species among the Felidae and classified in the genus Panthera . It is most recognisable for its dark vertical stripes on orangish-brown fur with a lighter underside . It is an apex predator , primarily preying on ungulates such as deer and wild boar . It is territorial and generally a solitary but social predator , requiring large contiguous areas of habitat , which support its requirements for prey and rearing of its offspring . Tiger cubs stay with their mother for about two years , before they become independent and leave their mother 's home range to establish their own . The tiger once ranged widely from the Eastern Anatolia Region in the west to the Amur River basin , and in the south from the foothills of the Himalayas to Bali in the Sunda islands . Since the early 20th century , tiger populations have lost at least 93% of their historic range and have been extirpated in Western and Central Asia , from the islands of Java and Bali , and in large areas of Southeast and South Asia and China . Today 's tiger range is fragmented , stretching from Siberian temperate forests to subtropical and tropical forests on the Indian subcontinent and Sumatra . The tiger is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List since 1986 . As of 2015 , the global wild tiger population was estimated to number between 3,062 and 3,948 mature individuals , down from around 100,000 at the start of the 20th century , with most remaining populations occurring in small pockets isolated from each other . Major reasons for population decline include habitat destruction , habitat fragmentation and poaching . This , coupled with the fact that it lives in some of the more densely populated places on Earth , has caused significant conflicts with humans .
Shere Khan /ˈʃɪər ˈkɑːn/ is a fictional Bengal tiger and the main antagonist of Rudyard Kipling 's Jungle Book and its adaptations .

According to The Kipling Society , the word shere ( or shir ) translates as tiger , and khan is a title of distinction , used together to show that he is chief among tigers . Other sources indicate Shere may mean tiger or lion in Azerbaijani , Persian , Kurdish , Hindi-Urdu , and Punjabi , and that khan translates as king , or leader , in a number of languages influenced by the Mongols , including Pashto and Hindi-Urdu .
The Jungle Book is a 1967 American animated musical comedy film produced by Walt Disney Productions . Based on Rudyard Kipling 's book of the same name , it is the 19th Disney animated feature film .

The early versions of both the screenplay and the soundtrack followed Kipling 's work more closely , with a dramatic , dark , and sinister tone which Disney did not want in his family film , leading to writer Bill Peet and composer Terry Gilkyson being replaced . The casting employed famous actors and musicians Phil Harris , Sebastian Cabot , George Sanders and Louis Prima , as well as Disney regulars such as Sterling Holloway , J. Pat O'Malley and Verna Felton , and the director 's son , Bruce Reitherman , as Mowgli . The Jungle Book was released on October 18 , 1967 , to positive reception , with acclaim for its soundtrack , featuring five songs by the Sherman Brothers and one by Gilkyson , The Bare Necessities .

The Siberian tiger is a Panthera tigris tigris population in the Russian Far East and Northeast China , and possibly North Korea . It once ranged throughout the Korean Peninsula , north China , Russian Far East , and eastern Mongolia . Today , this population inhabits mainly the Sikhote Alin mountain region in southwest Primorye Province in the Russian Far East . In 2005 , there were 331-393 adult and subadult Siberian tigers in this region , with a breeding adult population of about 250 individuals . The population had been stable for more than a decade due to intensive conservation efforts , but partial surveys conducted after 2005 indicate that the Russian tiger population was declining . An initial census held in 2015 indicated that the Siberian tiger population had increased to 480-540 individuals in the Russian Far East , including 100 cubs . This was followed up by a more detailed census which revealed there was a total population of 562 wild Siberian tigers in Russia . As of 2014 , about 35 individuals were estimated to range in the international border area between Russia and China . The Siberian tiger is genetically close to the Caspian tiger of Central and Western Asia . Results of a phylogeographic study comparing mitochondrial DNA from Caspian tigers and living tiger subspecies indicate that the common ancestor of the Siberian and Caspian tigers colonized Central Asia from eastern China , via the Gansu−Silk Road corridor , and then subsequently traversed Siberia eastward to establish the Siberian tiger population in the Russian Far East . The Caspian and Siberian tiger populations were the northernmost in mainland Asia . The Siberian tiger was also called Amur tiger , Manchurian tiger , Korean tiger , and Ussurian tiger , depending on the region where individuals were observed .

Creator Pete Browngardt has cited the work of cartoonists Don Martin , Gary Larson and Robert Crumb , as well as Golden Age-era animators such as Tex Avery and Max Fleischer when it came to developing the style of the show . Each 11-minute episode is presented in a unique format , consisting of a main seven- to nine-minute story , some short bumpers typically composed of a quick visual joke , and an original short that focuses on the show 's side characters . Cartoon Network renewed the series for the fourth and fifth seasons : first splitting the second season ( of 52 episodes ) into two halves , which respectively became the second and third season , then also dividing in half the already announced third season into the fourth and fifth season ( of 26 and 23 episodes , respectively ) , which served as the final seasons .
