The  tiger  (panthera tigris) is the largest  cat species, reaching a total body length of up to 3.38  m (11.1  ft) over curves and exceptionally weighing up to 388.7  kg (857  lb) in the wild. its most recognisable feature is a pattern of dark vertical stripes on reddish-orange fur with a lighter underside. the species is classified in the genus  panthera  with the  lion,  leopard,  jaguar  andsnow leopard. tigers are  apex predators, primarily preying on  ungulates  such as  deer  and  bovids. they are territorial and generally  solitary but social  animals, often requiring large contiguous areas of habitat that support their prey requirements. this, coupled with the fact that they are indigenous to some of the more densely populated places on earth, has caused significant  conflicts with humans.tigers once ranged widely across  asia, from  turkey  in the west to the eastern coast of  russia. over the past 100 years, they have lost 93% of their historic range, and have been extirpated from southwest and central asia, from the islands of  java  and  bali, and from large areas of  southeast  and  eastern asia. today, they range from the siberian  taiga  to open  grasslands  and tropical  mangrove  swamps. the remaining six tiger subspecies have been classified as  endangered  byiucn. the global population in the wild is estimated to number between 3,062 and 3,948 individuals, down from around 100,000 at the start of the 20th century, with most remaining populations occurring in small pockets isolated from each other, of which about 2,000 exist on the  indian subcontinent.[4]  major reasons for population decline include  habitat destruction,  habitat fragmentation  and  poaching. the extent of area occupied by tigers is estimated at less than 1,184,911  km2  (457,497  sq  mi), a 41% decline from the area estimated in the mid-1990s.tigers are among the most recognisable and popular of the world's  charismatic megafauna. they have featured prominently in ancient  mythology  andfolklore, and continue to be depicted in modern films and literature. they appear on many  flags,  coats of arms, and as  mascots  for sporting teams. the tiger is the  national animal  of  bangladesh,  india,  vietnam,malaysia  and  south korea. contents taxonomy and etymologyevolutionsubspecieshybridsdescriptionsizecolour variationsdistribution and habitatbiology and behavioursocial activityhunting and dietinteraction with other predatorsreproductionconservation effortsrewilding and reintroducingrelation with humanstiger as preyman-eating tigerscommercial hunting and traditional medicinein captivitycultural depictionsin myth and legendin literature and filmas a symbolsee alsoreferencesbibliographyexternal links
