Only 1,000 tigers remain in India, down drastically from 40,000 a century ago, due to extensive hunting and poaching. Two Indian tiger reserves, Panna and Sariska, have lost their tiger populations. Poaching to supply demand for tiger parts in Chinese medicine is a major threat, along with habitat loss from electric fences, logging, and conflicts between male tigers over territory. Several tiger subspecies are critically endangered or extinct, including the Bali tiger, while the Sumatran tiger faces threats from poaching and habitat destruction. Protecting remaining tiger habitats and combating poaching of tigers for traditional medicine are critical to the species' survival.

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.

4. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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

8. 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.

9. 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.

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

11. 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.

12. 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.
