Tiger

In the past, the tiger's range was widespread in Asia, from the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea to Siberia and Indonesia.
During the 19th century, these cats completely vanished from western Asia,

and became restricted to isolated pockets in the remaining parts of their range.


Today, their range is fragmented, and extends from India in the west to China and Southeast Asia in the east.The northern limit is close to the Amur River in south eastern Siberia. The only large island inhabited by tigers today is Sumatra.

The tiger (Panthera tigris) is a member of the Felidae family, the largest of the four "big cats" in the genus Panthera.
The word "tiger" is taken from the Greek word "tigris".In the past, the tiger's range was widespread in Asia, from the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea to Siberia and Indonesia.

The Lion

The LION (Panthera leo) is one of the four big cats in the genus Panthera, and a member of the family Felidae. With some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight,[4] it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in Sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with a critically endangered remnant population in Gir Forest National Park in India, having disappeared from North Africa and Southwest Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene, about 10,000 years ago, the lion was the most widespread large land mammal after humans. They were found in most of Africa, much of Eurasia from western Europe to India, and in the Americas from the Yukon to Peru.
