Tigers live in thick forests or areas with tall grasses to hide in and plenty of prey to eat.
They don't like open grasslands. Most kinds of tigers live where it is warm but Siberian tigers live where it gets very cold. The size of a tiger's territory depends on how much prey there is to eat. For example, in some parts of India where there is plenty of prey, a male tiger only needs eight to sixty square miles . In Sumatra, where there is less prey, a male tiger may need as much as 150 square miles.
