OBJECTIVES
• VALUES OF TIGERS
REALITY OF TIGERS
• ONLY A YEAR AGO THERE WERE CALCULATED TO BE 24 TIGERS IN THE PARK, ONE OF INDIA’S 27
TIGER RESERVES.
• AAND
CENTURY AGO, INDIA HAD ABOUT 40,000 TIGERS. BY 1988, AS A RESULT OF EXTENSIVE HUNTING
POACHING, THERE WERE JUST 4,500 LEFT. NOW THE TRUE FIGURE IS PROBABLY 1,000.
• PANNA, LOCATED NEAR KHAJURAHO, IS THE SECOND RESERVE IN WHICH THERE ARE NOW NO
TIGERS. SARISKA NATIONAL PARK IN RAJASTHAN LOST ALL ITS TIGERS IN 2005.
• THE DECLINE IS SAID TO BE LARGELY DOWN TO POACHERS SERVING AN INSATIABLE DEMAND FOR
TIGER BONES, CLAWS AND SKIN IN CHINA, TAIWAN AND KOREA, WHERE THEY ARE USED IN
TRADITIONAL MEDICINE. OTHER FACTORS INCLUDE ELECTRIC FENCES ERECTED BY FARMERS,
ILLEGAL LOGGING AND FIGHTS BETWEEN MALE TIGERS OVER DIMINISHING TERRITORY.
REALITY OF TIGERS
• JUST 1,000 TIGERS LEFT IN INDIA
• THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT ADMITTED THAT NOBODY HAS SEEN A
ROYAL BENGAL TIGER IN PANNA NATIONAL PARK SINCE JANUARY.
RANGE OF TIGERS
TYPES OF TIGERS
BENGAL TIGER
THE BENGAL TIGER, OR ROYAL BENGAL TIGER , EQUALS A
RACE OF TIGER MAINLY OBTAINED IN INDIA AND
BANGLADESH. THEY ARE ALSO OBTAINED IN REGIONS OF
NEPAL, BHUTAN, MYANMAR AND SOUTH TIBET. THE
BENGAL TIGER IS AMONG THE BIGGEST AND THE JUST
ABOUT A LOT OF OF THE TIGER RACE, WITH
APPROXIMATELY 1,411 WILD TIGERS BEING ACCOUNTED
BY THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA'S NATIONAL TIGER
CONSERVATION AUTHORITY.
BALI TIGER
BALI TIGER
THE BALI TIGER , HARIMAU BALI IN INDONESIAN, OR ADVERTED TO AS SAMONG IN
PRIMITIVE BALINESE WORDS, IS AN NONEXISTENT RACE OF TIGER ASCERTAINED
ENTIRELY ON THE LITTLE INDONESIAN ISLAND OF BALI. THIS WAS AMONG TERNARY
RACE OF TIGER DISCOVERED IN INDONESIA ALONG WITH THE JAVAN TIGER (AS WELL
PERHAPS EXTINCT) AND SUMATRAN TIGER (CRITICALLY JEOPARDIZED
INDOCHINESE TIGER
INDOCHINESE TIGER
THE INDOCHINESE TIGER OR CORBETT'S TIGER COMPRISES
A RACE OF TIGER DISCOVERED IN CAMBODIA, LAOS, BURMA,
THAILAND, AND VIETNAM. TIGERS IN PENINSULAR
MALAYSIA, AT ONE TIME CATEGORISED AS INDOCHINESE,
HAVE LATELY BEEN RECLASSIFIED AS A SEPARATED RACE,
MALAYAN TIGER PANTHERA TIGRIS JACKSONI. THE
"CORBETT'S" NAME ROOTS FROM THE SCIENTIFIC BRING UP
OF THE SUBSPECIES, PANTHERA TIGRIS CORBETTI, WHICH
SUCCESSIVELY IS CALLED IN RESPECT OF JIM CORBETT.
MALAYAN TIGER
THE MALAYAN TIGER , DISCOVERED IN THE SOUTHERN AND
PRIMAL PARTS OF THE MALAY PENINSULA, UNTIL 2004
WASN'T VIEWED A RACE IN ITS OWN RIGHT. THE NEWLY
CATEGORIZATION HAPPENED AFTER A STUDY BY LUO S-J ET
AL. FROM THE LABORATORY OF GENOMIC DIVERSITY, PART
OF THE U.S. NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE.
WHITE TIGERS
THERE'S A FAMILIAR MUTATION THAT DEVELOPS THE
WHITE TIGERS, TECHNICALLY CALLED CHINCHILLA
ALBINISTIC, A CREATURE WHICH IS SCARCE IN THE
WILD, BUT WIDELY COVERED IN ZOOS DUE TO ITS
FAME. UPBRINGING OF WHITE TIGERS WILL
FREQUENTLY CONTRIBUTE TO INBREEDING .
NUMEROUS OPENINGS HAVE COME ABOUT IN WHITE
AND ORANGE TIGER PAIRING IN AN EFFORT TO
RECTIFY THE ISSUE, OFTEN MIX RACE IN THE WAY.
SUCH INBREEDING HAS RESULTED TO WHITE TIGERS
BEARING A HEAVIER ODDS OF BEING BORN WITH
PHYSICAL FLAWS, SUCH AS CLEFT PALATES AND
SCOLIOSIS (CURVATURE OF THE SPINE). MOREOVER,
WHITE TIGERS ARE INCLINED IN ACQUIRING CROSSED
EYES . EVEN EVIDENTLY SOUND WHITE TIGERS
MOSTLY DON'T LIVE AS LONG AS THEIR ORANGE
COUNTERPARTS
SUMATRAN TIGER
• SUMATRAN TIGER
MALE SUMATRAN TIGERS AVERAGE 204 CM LONG FROM HEAD
TO TAIL AND WEIGH APPROXIMATELY 136 KG. FEMALES
AVERAGE OUT 198 CM LONG AND COUNT APPROXIMATELY 91
KG. ITS STRIPES ARE THINNER THAN REMAINING RACE OF
TIGERS' STRIPES, AND IT HAS A MORE WHISKERED AND
MANED SHOW, PARTICULARLY THE MALES. ITS SLIM SIZE
MAKES IT LIGHTER TO MOVE THROUGH HEAVY RAINFORESTS.
IT HAS NETTING BETWEEN THE SUMATRAN TIGER IS THE
YOUNGEST OF ALL EXISTING TIGER RACE. ITS TOES THAT,
WHEN SPREAD, MAKES SUMATRAN TIGERS VERY FAST
SWIMMERS. IT'S BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED TO DRIVE HOOVED
PREY INTO THE WATER, PARTICULARLY IF THE PREY BEAST IS
A SLOW SWIMMER.
TODAYS POSITIION OF TIGER
THE ILLEGAL POACHING OF TIGERS FOR THEIR PARTS AND
DESTRUCTION OF THEIR HABITAT THROUGH DESTRUCTION AND
BUFFER ZONE ENCROACHMENT ARE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES
FACED IN THE FIGHT TO SAVE OUR TIGERS.
