Description
The Caspian Tiger, along with the Siberian Tiger and the Bengal Tiger, was one of the largest living cats. According to genetic studies, the Caspian tiger is closely related to the Siberian tiger or even belongs to the same subspecies. On this basis, the release programs of Siberian tigers in Central Asia are being considered.

Diet
Tiger's primary diet consists mainly of large ungulates. This includes deer and wild boar, but it exhibits a preference for larger prey like gaur and bison when available. Also, tiger may consume smaller game and even occasional vegetation.
Appearance
Tiger is a large, muscular carnivore with a streamlined body covered in thick fur. The primary coat color varies from shades of orange to white, with distinctive vertical black stripes. It has a long, flexible tail and sharp retractable claws. Marked size differences are noted between genders, with males being significantly larger. Certain subspecies display variations in size and coloration, and the white tiger is notably unique.
Behavior
Tiger are solitary predators with strong territorial instincts. They communicate through visual signals, vocalizations, and scent markings, marking their territories with urine, feces, and secretions from scent glands. Known for their stalking and ambush hunting style, they primarily prey at night. They are not migratory, generally occupying a well-defined home range, and their survival in the wild is highly reliant on their remarkable camouflage ability.
