Tigers are amazingly beautiful animals that are extremely powerful hunters with sharp teeth, very strong jaws, and an agile, muscular body. Tigers are the largest members of the Felidae family. They are closest relatives to lions.

Tigers are basically rusty orange to yellow orange color. Their underbody is creamy to white. There are large vertical stripes on the tiger's body. The body coloring varies with climate. Tigers have very short, dense fur. The fur around the head is longer, and forms the mane. Tigers normally have amber yellow eyes with round pupils.
