Tiger - Where do they live?

Reading and enjoying these following tiger facts -  facts of one of the most amazing big cats in the world.

Tigers are found in amazingly diverse habitats: rainforests, grasslands, savannas and even mangrove swamps. Unfortunately, 93 percent of historical tiger lands have disappeared primarily because of expanding human activity. Saving tigers means saving forests that are vital to the health of the planet. You can help by taking action to save tiger forests.


In many areas, the number of tigers is dwindling due to poaching and loss of habitat, and the reproduction rate of tigers is not high. A female typically produces two to three cubs every 2 to 2 1/2 years, because cubs are not fully independent until they are about 2 years old. About one-half of all cubs do not survive long enough to go out on their own. Females are ready to reproduce at 3 to 4 years old, but males do not first mate until they are 4 or 5.
