3. Reality of Tigers
• Only a year ago there were calculated to be 24 tigers in the
park, one of India’s 27 tiger reserves.
• A century ago, India had about 40,000 tigers. By 1988, as a
result of extensive hunting and 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.

the Laboratory of Genomic Diversity, part of
the U.S. National Cancer Institute.
10. 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

The illegal poaching of tigers for
their parts and destruction of
their habitat through destruction

encroachment are the biggest
challenges faced in the fight to
save our Tigers.
