Africa has other big cats including lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

Tigers, the largest of the big cats, do not live in Africa. Though there are a number of large cats and predators to be found throughout the continent, tigers are not one of them. Wild tigers are found only in Asia across 13 tiger-range countries. The natural habitat of tigers in the wild is widespread and includes a variety of habitats. While they tend to be found primarily in forested areas, they also occupy grasslands, mangrove swamps and even rocky environments. These majestic creatures can be found from China, Indonesia and Southeast Asia, to India and parts of Russia. India has the largest population of wild tigers (around 3,000). While their territory was once very widespread, poaching and loss of habitat has left the populations of many tiger subspecies at risk or highly threatened. In total, there are around 4,000 tigers left in the wild in Asia.
