Tigers are still high on my list of favorite cats. They are among the most majestic of all of the cat species and amongst the most varied in terms of their habitat, ranging from the cold and mountainous regions of Siberia . . .


To the swamps and jungle of South East Asia and the Malaysian Archipelago . . .


To the forests and plains of the Indian subcontinent.


Tigers have really effective camouflage consisting of earth toned backgrounds overlaid with black stripes which combine to break up the animal's silhouette. Under most lighting conditions a still tiger seems to just disappear into the background.


A final effect of a tiger's stripes and colors is to make him appear ferocious like this guy on the right.
