The term "tigre" refers to the Spanish word for "tiger," a large wild cat known for its distinctive orange coat with black stripes. Tigers are native to Asia and are the largest species of the cat family, Felidae. They are solitary animals and are primarily found in forests, grasslands, and wetlands. Tigers are apex predators, meaning they are at the top of the food chain. They primarily hunt large prey such as deer and wild boar. Due to habitat loss and poaching, tigers are classified as endangered, and conservation efforts are underway to protect their populations and habitats in the wild.
