Wildlife
Tigers are the biggest of the big cats. There are some 6 subspecies of tigers in existence today, the Siberian tiger being the largest of them all. Tigers are on the endangered species list, they live in scattered parts of Asia, as far South as Indonesia and as far north as Siberia. Unlike many other animals, tigers don't form groups but travel and spend most of the time alone. They like water and make pretty good swimmers.
Tigers are a popular subject for wildlife artists, and it is easy see why, their interesting facial features and black stripes are a joy to paint. I know I had fun making the digital painting pictured at the top of the page.
