Tiger
The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest living cat and a member of the Panthera genus. Its dark vertical stripes easily identify it on its orange fur and white underside. It is an apex predator that primarily feeds on ungulates like deer and wild boar. It is a territorial and generally solitary but social predator that requires large contiguous areas of habitat to support its prey requirements and offspring rearing. Tiger cubs spend about two years with their mother before becoming independent and leaving her home range to establish their own.

It is also Lebanon’s national animal.
