THE PICTURE : The
tiger (
Panthera tigris) is the largest cat species, reaching a total
body length of up to 3.38 m over curves and weighing up to 388.7 kg
in the wild. Its most recognisable feature is a pattern of dark vertical
stripes on reddish-orange fur with a lighter underside. The species is
classified in the genus
Panthera
with the lion, leopard and jaguar. Tigers are apex predators, primarily preying
on ungulates such as deer and bovids. They are territorial and generally solitary
but social animals, often requiring large contiguous areas of habitat that
support their prey requirements. This, coupled with the fact that they are
indigenous to some of the more densely populated places on Earth, has caused
significant conflicts with humans.
THE STAMP : It is
