The tiger is a large carnivorous mammal native to Asia with a Latin name of Pantheon Tigris. It has adaptations like night vision, sharp claws, and large teeth that allow it to be a top predator in its environment. Its range has decreased in the last 100 years and if tigers became extinct, it could allow other animal populations to grow unchecked. Tigers can weigh around 720 pounds and run at speeds up to 40 miles per hour.
