barely see any tigers?

[EarlSkrubb]

I've been around the map (not seen every inch, but every regions, some more than other) and I've barely seen any tigers so far

you don't see them, they see you. Watch your back, when you hear the growl, it's alrdy to late :)

I heard one giving a mating call as i was walking to the village just after arriving. They are there...

[Junkz]

i killed one, and got killed twice by the tigers.. if your racing around on the ATV it wont help..

There are only 16 on the map at any one time, and when you think how big this map is, thats why you arent seeing them

isn't that the snow leopard?

There is a limited amount of tigers per map and you want to visit their feed/sleep zones. In my view and I may be mistaken, but they act differently to animals we've see thus far. They try to hunt us, so you need to adapt and use your tools and skills to find, hunt & kill.

According to Jaxy, there are 16 Tigers (or 18, can´t remember) and even less Snow Leopards.

Since I posted here I have killed 2 Tigers in and around the same aera.

You should "barely" see any tigers. A map flooded with tigers would take away the fun imo.

the only reason I even knew they were there is because I could hear them snarl and I had to actively look for them/ use my dog to spot them.

There are only a max of 16 Tigers at any given time, and they are only to be found in the (roughly lower half). They are not abundant.

... and "less than 16" Snowleopards.

yeah, finally managed to kill one before going to bed, it still killed me, but died of it's wounds after lol

They are only on the middle and bottom parts of the map. And... indeed you rarely see them, unless you are grinding for them at lakes. Gota hunt em there.

So far I only managed to track down ONE tiger away from a lake (Eating zone). And on ONE occasion I saw both a female and male at the same drinking spot at the same time.

From what I gather once you're within their territory they are at least somewhat aware of your presence, and when you alert them they change over to actively stalking you by mirroring your movements, keeping to brush, and circling around behind you.

The growl you hear gives you about 10-20 seconds warning from what I've seen with other players, and it seems almost like the tiger weaponizes your panic against you by intentionally making noise so you flail and are less likely to look right at it.

However, if you spot them in time and keep looking at them, they will eventually flee as they realize they have lost the element of surprise, which is some they actually do in real life. nice little bit of realism there.
