Tigers primarily inhabit a variety of biomes, but the most common are tropical and subtropical forests, grasslands, and savannas. These magnificent big cats are adaptable creatures but have a strong preference for dense, moist environments with plentiful cover and access to water.
In particular, the Sundarbans, a large mangrove forest in India and Bangladesh, is one of the most famous tiger habitats. This unique biome provides tigers with both the cover they need to hunt and the water they require to thrive. However, tigers can also be found in other biomes, including coniferous forests and even snow-covered areas, as seen in Siberian tigers.
The adaptability of tigers to diverse biomes is crucial for their survival, as they rely on specific types of vegetation and prey availability that each biome provides. Protecting these habitats is essential for the conservation of tigers and the overall biodiversity of these ecosystems.
