Do tigers live in Africa


Do tigers live in Africa?
I was just watching sci-fi's Destination Truth and they went to Cambodia to look for an ape-man. While they were there they caught something on their thermal imaging camera. After analyzing it, they said it could have been a tiger. This caught my attention but I figured it was just a mistake and they meant lion. But then at the end of the show they had an expert analyze the thermal camera footage and he said it was "Probably a tiger". Do tigers live in Africa or are the people on Destination Truth just ignorant?

No, only in zoos.

No tigers live in Asia ..if they lived in Africa there would be too little food for the lions and it would create a chain reaction causing some species to become extinct.

I think they do :) i saw a documentaryy on protecting the tiger and they brought two to africa....no idea if the project succeed though I hope it did :) sorry for my poor spelling lol and sorry i cannot remember the name of the documentary :(

No tigers live in India and other parts of Asia, no where close to Africa. The only place you would find a tiger in africa would be in some type of zoo.
5 :
Cambodia is actually a country in southeast Asia so it probably was a tiger. Tigers only live in Asian countries.

Naturally, no. However, some tigers (like 3? Can't recall, very small number) have been introduced to and rehabilitated on a large game reserve in southern Africa, where they run free and hunt as they please. The short answer is definitely NO though But the real problem here is that Cambodia is in ASIA
7 :
It's not the people who are on Destination Truth who are ignorant. In re your question, tigers no longer exist in the wild state in Africa. They did at one time.
8 :
No tigers are from Asia not Africa.
