Tigers are natural jungle cats that are native to both warm and cold forests of the world. They are distinguished from other great cats by their orange fur and black stripes. Also, unlike other great cats, tigers love the water. Their territories are often centered around or near a large body of water, such as a river or lake.
These great cats stand more than 3 feet tall at the shoulder and are about 9 feet long. They weigh from 400 to 600 pounds. There are the rare cases of white tiger, where the orange fur are white instead and the black stripes stay the same.[1]
