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 Indian government admitted that nobody
has seen a Royal Bengal tiger in Panna National
Park since January.

primal parts of the Malay Peninsula, until 2004 wasn't
viewed a race in its own right. The newly

from 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

been acknowledged to drive hooved prey into the water,
particularly if the prey beast is a slow swimmer.

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.
