Tiger Beetles are a diverse group of insects, with approximately 2,600 species worldwide. Their striking and vivid metallic colors and intricate patterns on their bodies set them apart from other beetles.
Interestingly, these types of beetles are named after their hunting style, which resembles a tiger's. They are known for their incredible speed and ability to thrive in sandy beaches, grasslands, high-altitude mountains, and lush rainforests.
Although beautiful, Tiger Beetles eat small arthropods such as ants, spiders, and caterpillars. They use their strong mandibles to catch their prey, employing a highly effective chase-and-catch strategy.
If you observe Tiger Beetles, you may see them standing on their hind legs. This strategy helps them avoid overheating on hot sand.

Tigers are the biggest wild cats in the world! They live in Asia. Bengal tigers live in hot grassy lands. A few Bengal tigers have white fur. Siberian tigers live in cold forests and their thick fur keeps them warm.
What tigers like best is lots of space to roam in…alone! They fight any other tigers that come near. Tigers are predators. They have amazing eyesight; they can see very well in the dark. When tigers spot a deer or an antelope, they crouch low in the grass. Their stripes help them hide. They slowly creep closer, and then they pounce! They have long razor-sharp claws that pop out when they attack.
Tigers are beautiful and majestic animals. Unfortunately, they are now an endangered species and it is estimated that there are only 5,574 tigers remaining in the wild worldwide.
Feted for their bones and skin, tigers are fighting for survival in several countries across Asia. India, however, has shown progress in tiger conservation
The majestic creature isn’t burning bright. From a lakh a century ago, the tiger population is down to just about 3,900. Listed as an endangered species by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), tigers are fighting for survival, literally. The International Tiger Day strives to make people more aware about tiger conservation. Here is a primer on why tiger conservation is important and where India stands:
Tigers are one of the most beautiful animals. Global Tiger Day, also known as International Tiger Day, is an annual celebration to raise awareness for tiger conservation. It is held on July 29th every year. The goal of the day is to promote a global system for protecting the natural habitats of tigers and to raise public awareness and support for tiger conservation issues.
The tiger (Panthera tigris) is a member of the genus Panthera and the largest living cat species native to Asia. It has a powerful, muscular body with a large head and paws, a long tail and orange fur with black, mostly vertical stripes. It is traditionally classified into nine recent subspecies, though some recognise only two subspecies, mainland Asian tigers and the island tigers of the Sunda Islands.
After a century of decline, overall wild tiger numbers are starting to tick upward. Based on the best available information, tiger populations are stable or increasing in India, Nepal, Bhutan, Russia and China. About 5,574 tigers remain in the wild, according to the Global Tiger Forum, but much more work is needed to protect this species if we are to secure its future in the wild. In some areas, including much of Southeast Asia, tigers are still in crisis and declining in number.
