Does a tiger live in lair?

Tigers don't technically live in a "lair" in the same way that, say, a fox might. They don't build or maintain a permanent, dedicated structure like a den.

Here's why:

* Tigers are solitary: They primarily live alone, except for mothers with cubs. A dedicated lair would make it easier for other tigers to find them, which can be dangerous.

* They're nomadic: Tigers roam large territories, often covering many miles. Staying in one place for too long can deplete the local prey.

* They use a variety of locations: Instead of a lair, tigers use a network of "resting spots" or "dens." These are temporary locations where they sleep, hide from danger, or raise their young. They can include caves, dense thickets, abandoned burrows, or even just thick vegetation.

So, while tigers don't have "lairs" in the traditional sense, they do use a variety of temporary resting places to meet their needs.
