The Siberian Tiger is the
largest, in sheer size, of all the tigers on the planet. Though the animal is
highly endangered
The white tiger is
endangered because it is illegally hunted and killed by poachers for its
beautiful fur or rosette. The other threats it is facing are inbreeding,
changes in natural habitat and diseases
There are only around 200
of the white tigers left in the world. White tigers are an Asian species, found
from the frozen tundra of the Soviet Far East, south to the humid jungles of
Malaya and Indonesia, and west to the hot, hardwood forests of India
Tigers are a protected
species all over the world. Even though it's completely illegal to hunt them,
people are still slaying these beautiful creatures.
Causes of its decline
Today the greatest threat to the tiger are human beings.
Bones and almost all tiger body pares have been used in
traditional medicine.
For their
fur and destruction of habitat have reduced the wild population.
