Tigers are cats in the mammal family, and their scientific name is Panthera tigris. Felines, also known as Felidae, include nearly 40 species including cats, leopards, lions, jaguars, and snow leopards. Tigers are one of the largest cats. Their body structure is adapted to behaviors such as jumping, running and climbing. They also have sharp teeth and claws that can easily kill prey. Tigers are distributed throughout Asia and are one of the important symbols in human culture. However, due to long-term habitat destruction, illegal poaching and other reasons, tigers are facing threats to their survival.
