Tigers are mostly solitary animals, living in huge home ranges. They hunt above all hoofed animals up to the size of cattle. In times of neediness they content themselves with much smaller prey like frogs and grasshoppers. Tigers give birth to 2 up to 4 young. Their mother takes care of them and teaches them to hunt when they grow up.
Tigers are very endangered.
Several subspecies seem to be already extinct. The destruction of their habitat but above all the hunting of Tigers. In former times trophy hunting was fashionable in some groups of people. There have been lots of battues at those times, especially on the Bengal tiger, living in India. Nowadays Tigers are protected and hunting is illegal.
