Original Paintings of Tigers

Tigers are the biggest of the big cats. The largest races of tigers tend to live in the cooler, northern parts of their range and have thicker, paler fur, the Siberian tiger being the biggest of them all. Tigers are happiest living in forests where there is plenty of cover to stalk their prey, but they are also fond of water and are accomplished swimmers something I have featured in quite a few paintings.

The tiger (Panthera tigris) is a member of the Felidae family; the largest of the four "big cats" in the genus Panthera. Native to much of eastern and southern Asia, the tiger is an apex predator and an obligate carnivore. Reaching up to 3.3 metres (11 ft) in total length and weighing up to 300 kilograms (660 pounds), the larger tiger subspecies are comparable in size to the biggest extinct felids.

"Sumatran Royalty" Tiger Painting For Sale by Alan M Hunt

Their historical range, which once reached from Mesopotamia and the Caucasus through most of South and East Asia, has been radically reduced. While all surviving species are under formal protection, poaching, habitat destruction and inbreeding depression continue to be threats.
Nonetheless, tigers are among the most recognizable and popular of the world's charismatic megafauna. They have featured prominently in ancient mythology and folklore, and continue to be depicted in modern films and literature. Tigers appear on many flags and coats of arms, as mascots for sporting teams, and as the national animal of several Asian nations.
Tigers have been classified by scientists into eight subspecies: Indian (or Bengal), Indo-Chinese, Sumatran, Amur (or Siberian), South China, Caspian (extinct), Java (extinct), and Bali (extinct).
One of the most powerful land carnivores in the world , the tiger is a massively built cat of awesome size and power.

The Siberian Tiger is the largest cat in the world. The biggest one ever recorded was 1,025 pounds, while the average weight for male Siberian Tigers is 500-900 pounds. Male Siberian Tigers are usually about 3.5 feet tall at the shoulder and about 13 feet long from nose to tail.

The Siberian Tiger can run up to 50 miles per hour over the snow if they want to. That's only 10 miles per hours slower than the cheetah (the fastest cat in the world)!

Fact: Tigers are an endangered species. Wild tigers in Asia -- their natural habitat -- may soon disappear. As conservationist, 

Tigers keep their claws sharp for hunting by pulling in their retractable claws into a protective sheath.

Most tigers have more than 100 stripes, and no two tigers have identical stripes.

A group of tigers is called a streak.

There are probably fewer than 500 Sumatran tigers on the island of Sumatra.
