The were once found across Asia, from Turkey to China, Korea, and the Russian far east. Now they are restricted to a few scattered populations in India, parts of Southeast Asia, China, and Russia. The tiger can be found in all types of terrain from snowy temperate to warm, tropical forests and from dry, open woodlands to mangrove swamps.
Tigers are solitary creatures, basically only coming together to share kills, mate and drink water.
Generally, both female and male tigers maintain home ranges that do not overlap with the home range of another tiger of the same sex. Females have a home ranges of approximately 20sq km while the males have much larger ranges of 60-100sq km. Male home ranges cover the territory of many smaller female home ranges, and those females make up a sort of harem for that male. He must protect his territory and the females within it from competing males. Male tigers may kill cubs that are not produced by him, thereby ensuring that the female will come into heat and bear his offspring.
