Tigers are found throughout Asia, but are most heavily concentrated in India and Nepal. Different subspecies of tiger are found in different areas, and tigers can adapt to a fairly wide range of environments. Their environments must provide plenty of coverage so tigers can stalk their prey and find shade, so they are usually found in rainforests, swamps, and grasslands. Tigers defy the stereotype of cats by actually enjoying the water. They are strong swimmers and spend much time lounging in the water to escape the heat. Here is a video of Odin, a white tiger who not only lounges in the pool, he dives underwater to retrieve food!
Tigers also must find an area with a dense population of prey. This is one of the biggest problems facing tigers today. As humans continue to take over their land, tigers have a harder time hunting and subsequently die off.
