Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Do tigers live in groups? Tigers are solitary animals, with the exception of mothers and their cubs. Individual tigers roam across large areas, also known as home ranges, the size of which is determined by the availability of food.

Detailed explanation-2: -As solitary animals, tigers (especially males) establish and maintain their own territories, the size and nature of which vary with the number and distribution of prey, the presence of other tigers in the area, the nature of the terrain, the availability of water, and individual characteristics.

Detailed explanation-3: -In addition to being loners, they’re also territorial-making it impossible for them to live together peacefully. Even when tigers share a territory with other members of their species, they only congregate temporarily to mate.

Detailed explanation-4: -A group of tigers is known as a “streak” or an “ambush” of tigers. Tigers are naturally solitary animals, spending most of their day alone and roaming their hunting grounds. Still, there is an occasional cause that requires groups of tigers to travel and live together for periods.

Detailed explanation-5: -The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest living cat species and a member of the genus Panthera. It is most recognisable for its dark vertical stripes on orange fur with a white underside. An apex predator, it primarily preys on ungulates, such as deer and wild boar.
