The Latin name for the tiger is ‘Panthera tigris‘. They can live up to 26 years in captivity and in the wild. Tigers prefer to inhabit forests, grasslands and mangrove swamps. There are six distinctive tigers: Bengal, Indochinese, Malayan, Siberian, South China and Sumatran. White tigers are caused by recessive genes and inbreeding. There are as few as 30 Golden Tigers in captivity. There are three extinct breeds: Bali, Caspian and Javan. They can measure up to 11ft, including tail.
They can weigh up to 670lbs. The stripes that a tiger has are as unique as human fingerprints. Tigers are generally solitary creatures, but are seen as highly social able.

Teddy, a critically endangered Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae), is ~11 years old. He is the newest tiger at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, having arrived in February 2013 from the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo in Indiana.
One of my favorite wall murals is this one painted by artist Morgan Bricca. It resides on the back entrance to the Crouching Tiger Restaurant in Redwood City. The red door on the right leads into the restaurant and to some of the best Chinese food I've eaten. The road to the left leads into a beautiful scene in Mainland China. Sometimes it's hard to decide which way to go.

Powerful, fast and beautiful.
Under the right circumstances, sometimes even cute (like on the photo), but also sneaky and of course dangerous. Overall, tigers are fascinating animals.
