Endangered Tigers Today wild tigers exist in Eastern Russia‚ China‚ Vietnam‚ Cambodia‚ North Korea‚ Thailand‚ Malaysia‚ Indonesia‚ Bhutan‚ India and Nepal. In order to live in the wild‚ tigers need water to drink‚ animals to hunt‚ and vegetation in which to hide. As the mountains‚ jungles‚ forests‚ and long grasses that have long been home to tigers disappear‚ so too‚ do tigers. Agricultural expansion‚ timber cutting‚ new roads‚ human settlement‚ industrial expansion and hydroelectric dams push

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

The Sixth Mass Extinction The mass extinction of certain animal species and plants that is facing the Earth today has been compared to‚ although some scientists suspect worse than‚ the extinction of the dinosaurs. The annihilation of the dinosaurs was caused by the collision of a large asteroid with the Earth. This current mass extinction‚ however‚ is different than any of the five mass extinctions that have been seen by the earth because this extinction is manmade‚ not natural. With the search

Siberian Tiger Panthera Tigris Altaica Alejandra Benavides Biology Class Period 7 • September 26‚ 2012 1 Introduction The Siberian tiger‚ also known as the Amur tiger‚ is a tiger subspecies inhabiting mainly in the mountain region of Primorski Krai in eastern Russia. The population has been stable more more than a decade due to intensive conservation efforts. Surveys from 2005 indicate that the tiger population is declining‚ showing the species is still endangered. Unlike the Bengal

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

If you compare and contrast two things you tell how they are alike and how they are different. It is important to organize your thoughts and information before you do so. Here are two different ways to organize information.

of climate. In terrestrial habitats‚ tropical regions are typically rich whereas polar regionssupport fewer species. Rapid environmental changes typically cause mass extinctions. 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

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

According to the latest tiger census report released on February 12‚ 2008 by the National Tiger Conservation Authority‚ the current tiger population stands at 1‚411 (i.e. ranging between a minimum of 1‚165 to a maximum of 1‚657). The results include figures from 16 tiger states and are exclusive of Jharkhand and Sunderbans. The state of West Bengal was covered only partially (i.e. North Bengal) during the census.

Project Tiger‚ launched in 1973-74‚ is one of our most successful conservation projects in recent times. The project aims at tiger conservation in specially constituted ’tiger reserves‚ which are representative of various bio- geographical regions within the country.
