Did you know?
Tigers are solitary apex predators native to Asia, with only a few thousand remaining in the wild today. Each tiger's stripe pattern is uniquely individual—like a fingerprint—and their amber eyes are remarkable adaptations for hunting both day and night. Despite their fearsome reputation, they're actually quite cautious around humans in their natural habitat.
