Tiger is a family of Felidae and a mammal. It is one of four “big cats” in the Panthera genus. They are the biggest and the mightiest of the living cats and because of these, they are considered as the super predators. Majority of the tigers dwell in grasslands or forests where they can easily find their food that is swifter or more alert. Amongst the big cats, only the tiger (aside from jaguar) is considered as strong swimmer. Tigers are frequently seen bathing in lakes, rivers and ponds.
The lion (Panthera leo) is one of the four big cats in the genus Panthera and a member of the family Felidae. With some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight, it is the largest cat species apart from the tiger.
