This True Books: Animals series introduces readers in grades three through five to fascinating animals. Students learn about the lifecycles, homes, feeding and mating habits, special abilities, and everyday activities of creatures found around the world. The tiger is the largest of the world's big cats--and the one that is most endangered. There are only 5,000 to 7,000 tigers left in the wild today, all of them in Asia. This book describes the habits and characteristics of the five kinds of tigers that exist today: the Bengal tiger, Siberian tiger (the world's largest cat), Indochinese tiger, Sumatran tiger, and South China tiger.
