The other most endangered animal iis the tiger. Tigers have been hunted heavily by humans over the past few years. The tiger population in the Indian sub-continent has declined seriously in the past fifty years. Nepal has only two hundred tigers, while India has about four thousand, a serious decline from the past figures. China and Korea are the biggest criminals as far as tiger poaching is concerned. In the nineteen hundreds, the entire tiger population was more than one lakh. However, today the global tiger population is less than ten thousand animals. The tigers aremainly found in the regions of asia.
The picturre here shows a white tiger which is also rare. When I read this page: http://www.theinsite.org/earth/earth_es_tiger.html I knew that there were many laws hada been enforced in protecting animals. This picture shows a mother tiger taking care of her cubs.
Tigers are one of the Earth's fastest disappearing species. At the beginning of this century there were about 100,000 wild tigers. Today there are less than 2,500! Originally, there were nine subspecies of tiger - 3 of which are now extinct. The 6 remaining tiger species: Amur (Siberian), Malayan, South China, Indo-chinese, Royal Bengal and Sumatran all have very shaky futures.
So please help in savin these beautiful species of animals.
