Tiger Habitat: Evergreen Forests, Tropical Forests, Mangrove Swamps, and Woodlands to Rocky Country, Savannah, and Grasslands.

Tiger Weight: Tiger weights vary greatly according to which breed it is. Across all tiger varieties, weights can range from anywhere between 165 -675 lbs.

Tiger Lifespan: The lifespan of the average tiger varies in a similar fashion, and depends entirely on the species. In the wild, the average tiger lives only 10 years because of environmental conditions and lack of available food sources. But in captivity, tigers survive a lot longer. Between 14-16 years is customary.

The Biggest Tiger In The World

The Siberian Tiger is actually the biggest tiger in the world, with an average weight of 397–675 lbs for males and 220–368 lbs for females. Tigers are truly an awe inspiring creature to watch, and if you want to see one “up close and personal”, the Bandhavgarh National Park Safari is the perfect way to do it.

Within the Bandhavgarh National Park are three buffer zones and three core zones. The 3 core “zones” are Magadhi, Tala, and Khitauli. The three buffer zones are Dhamokar, Panpatha, Johila. The buffer zones serve as open spaces outside the “core”, full of beneficial plants, soil, and food that assist the tigers in living a healthy, full life.

The Tiger’s Endangered Species Status

Tigers, which once densely populated areas such as Asia and Africa, are now dwindling in numbers. And the population of tigers continues to go down each and every year. Thanks to the conservation efforts from non-profit groups like the World Wide Fund for Nature and National Wildlife Federation, the Tiger has been able to make meaningful strides towards a comeback.

The Bandhavgarh National Park is an active participant in worldwide tiger conservation, and we hope you’ll join us in helping to prevent tigers from becoming extinct!
