Are there tigers in Kenya? Of course, Kenya does not have tigers and the particular pair was donated to the country by the Copenhagen Zoo. By preying on herbivores, tigers help to keep the balance between the prey animals and the forest vegetation which they feed upon. Tiger landscapes overlap with 9 major watersheds, providing water for over million people in Asia. The social significance of tigers can be seen in cosmologies, faiths and folktales of almost all civilizations across Asia.
Tigers live in some of the most important but also most highly threatened habitats on the planet, where many of Asia's most exceptional species thrive. In Sumatra, dense tropical forests form the only habitat in the world where tigers are found to live alongside orangutans, rhinos and elephants.
However, a century ago they could be found in much larger numbers, almost everywhere across Asia. In order to survive, tigers need to live in areas with dense vegetation, access to water and large ungulate -- or hoofed -- prey. The exact habitats the different subspecies of tiger live in varies, although they generally live in forests. For instance, Amur tigers often live in snowy coniferous forests, whereas Bengal tigers live anywhere from mangroves to temperate forests, and Indochinese tigers live in both highland and lowland tropical deciduous, mixed or coniferous forests.
Perhaps the most obvious adaptation that tigers have is their striped coats. As sunlight filters through the canopy, down to the forest floor, it creates stripes of shadow, much like tigers' markings. As such, tigers' coats help them to blend in with the undergrowth in a forest environment.
