The tiger is the largest cat species in the world; the largest tiger sub-species is the Siberian tiger. The approximate weight of the male is 500 pounds and the female is 300 pounds. The average length of the male tiger is 10 feet and the female 8 feet. The average height of a tiger is 3 feet. The appearance of the tiger depends to a great extent on where the animal lives. Tigers that live in cold regions are paler in colour and larger in size; their fur is long and thick. In warmer climates‚ tigers

differences—that make it easy for you to see that they are asking you to compare and/or contrast. Here are a few hypothetical examples: Compare and contrast Frye’s and Bartky’s accounts of oppression. Compare WWI to WWII‚ identifying similarities in the causes‚ development‚ and outcomes of the wars. Contrast Wordsworth and Coleridge; what are the major differences in their poetry? Notice that some topics ask only for comparison‚ others only for contrast‚ and others for both. But it’s not always so

the five cataclysmic mass extinctions‚ and as of today‚ about 99.9 percent of all species that have existed on Earth are extinct. These five extinctions were the Ordovician-Silurian extinction‚ the Late Devonian extinction‚ the Permian-Triassic extinction‚ the End Triassic extinction‚ and the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction. They wreaked havoc on more species than you could imagine‚ and if you think today that there are a lot of species‚ imagine if the five mass extinctions hadn’t happened. The Ordovician-Silurian

One estimate is that less than 1% of the species that have existed on Earth areextant.[1][verification needed] Since life began on Earth‚ five major mass extinctions and several minor events have led to large and sudden drops in biodiversity. The Phanerozoiceon (the last 540 million years) marked a rapid growth in biodiversity

Project Tiger was launched by Kailash Sankhala in India in 1973. The project aims at ensuring a viable population of Bengal tigers in their natural habitats and also to protect them from extinction‚ and preserving areas of biological importance as a natural heritage forever represented as close as possible the diversity of ecosystems across the tiger ’s distribution in the country. The project ’s task force visualized these tiger reserves as breeding nuclei‚ from which surplus animals would migrate

The Permian Mass Extinction is defined as one of five major mass extinctions which the earth experienced. Mass extinctions are caused by great changes of environment‚ and these changes take creatures’ ways of living. Geologic factors are one of main factors which generate big changes. Geologists consider that volcanism is a possible cause of the Permian Mass Extinction. According to National Geographic‚ “as volcanic gases poured into the skied‚ they would have generated acid rain‚ and sulfate molecules

Causes For The Quaternary Extinction Event The quaternary extinction event happened about 10‚000–40‚000 years ago. This even is when megafaunal animals went extinct. This event saw the extinction of more than 178 species. Megafaunals are defined as “A term generally used to refer to the largest animals present within an ecosystem‚ most often used with respect to the array of large-bodied species which suffered extinction during the Quaternary. A strict definition refers to animal species weighing

APES Humans’ Affect on Extinction If extinction is a natural part of the world‚ why should we worry about it? Speciation results in new species filling the ecological niche of extinct species. Why should we care if we speed up this process? Biologists say there are four main reasons to care about extinctions. First‚ the world’s species are a vital part of the earth’s life support system. A second reason is that species usually contribute to economic services. The third reason is that it takes
