Tigers


 * Tiger Features**

Tigers are famous for their orangy coats and browny black stripes which they use for camouflage as they can tun up to 35 mph. Their padded paws help make them almost silent, making it harder for the pray to hide. But their sense of smell is very good helping them pick out where their pray is hiding. They have the longest canine teeth of all the land mammal. Tigers have retractable claws which keep them extra sharp for battle. Tigers depending on their gender can be up to 7 feet long and 13 feet long, and anywhere from 300-800 pounds. Males are normally longer and bigger than female tigers. They use their tail as their way of body language, like we use our emotions. They are color blind but their vision at night is 6 times better than humans,

In the 1900 there were 100,000 tigers in Asia, and 9 subspecies. Now 3 are extinct and only 4,000-7,000 are in the wild. These are the 3 most known tigers. Bengal Tiger- Most numerous tiger living, with only the small amount of 3,000-5,000. These tigers live manly in India. Golden Tabby Tigers- About only 30 in existence, all in captivity. They were mostly found in India back as far as the early 1900's. White Tiger- Approximately 5,000-7,400 left in the wild, they are mostly found in India. What about the extinct tigers, the Caspian Tiger, the Bali Tiger, and the Javan Tiger. The Javan Tiger became extinct on the 15th of December 2007. The Caspian Tiger became extinct in the 1970's unknown date though. The Bail Tiger became extinct in 1937 unknown date as well.

As you can see tigers are well loved and known, but if we wish them to keeping living in our world we have to take more care of them, most of the tigers I searched up about are extinct or very, very close to being extinct. But do we really want them all to be gone?
