5 mm (2.93 in) or even 90 mm (3.5 in).[4] In zoos‚ tigers have lived for 20 to 26 years‚ which also seems to be their longevity in the wild.[5] They are territorial and generally solitary but social animals‚ often requiring large contiguous areas of habitat that support their prey requirements. This‚ coupled with the fact that they are indigenous to some of the more densely populated places on Earth‚ has caused significant conflicts with humans. Tigers once ranged widely across Asia‚ from Turkey in

human intervention affects each of the following species of the family are explained below. CHEETAHS Cheetahs are endangered and even extinct in many areas today largely due to human intervention. Human beings have taken over much of the cats’ habitat and killed off the prey that the cheetahs hunt for food. People have also killed many cheetahs directly. By the early 1970’s‚ the fur trade industry had become a major threat to large cats‚ especially cheetahs. During that time‚ the United States

subspecies of tigers are in danger of extinction. Tigers are classified as endangered species because the numbers of tigers are decreasing very fast. Extensive habitat and fragmentation has forced tigers to live in small‚ isolated pockets of remaining habitat‚ making it harder for tigers to reproduce. The expansion of human activities in tiger habitat led into overhunting of tiger prey species. This problem has become more of an issue due to the natural environment of tigers being destroyed at an alarming

These creatures range from big to small‚ with each of them having their own distinct features‚ but these creatures won’t last very long due to the human population constantly expanding and humanity’s desire for more. This has led to the loss of habitat and endangering these animals to extinction. Doing something about this is crucial‚ even if it is big or small‚ we still need to do something about it to save these animals for the future to see.

Save the tigers Someday‚ we may never see tigers again because tigers are on the critically endangered list‚ which is why the National Zoo was celebrating Global Tiger Day. This is happening because of poaching and habitat changes. Large plantations have replaced a lot of tiger habitat in several tropical range countries. Tigers occupy only around 7 percent of their historic range. The current wild tiger population is at as few as 3‚200 tigers‚ including only about 400 Sumatran tigers‚ which are listed

Land pollution is one of the gravest kinds of pollutions. I say so because we do not realize when and how we pollute land due to different things we do and decisions we take. We realize the air is getting polluted when we step out of our houses and take a deep breath. We know when our actions cause water pollution‚ for we can see for ourselves the quality of the water worsening. Similarly noise‚ light‚ visual pollution can all be monitored‚ because we can all see or sense these kinds of pollution

I. CAUSES OF THE DECLINE IN NUMBER OF CORBETT TIGERS IN VIETNAM 1. Massive Habitat and Prey Loss Many years ago‚ when there were still rain forests covering 43% of the area‚ tigers distributed on the highland and midland. In the 1960s‚ VN had thousands of tiger living in nature. The key findings from many years of study of tiger population have indicated that in many sites‚ tigers decline in numbers because of habitat loss and prey depletion rather than being killed directly.
