Tigers
Famously solitary, tigers seldom live in groups unless they’re still cubs staying close to their mother. This rare streak, as a group of tigers is called, is an exception. These tigress sisters are from the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve in central India, a protected area that is part of Tadoba National Park. The largest number of wild tigers, by far, live here in India, where between 70% to 80% of the world’s tiger population can be found. Russia and Bangladesh are a distant second and third.
