Theres 3 of my favourite animals in there :(

Benjamin 03-11-2010 09:55 AM

Sad times if any of these are wiped out. The tiger is so close to extinction :sad:

It is very sad, and the amount of animals that have actually become extinct in the last 10 years or so is scary.

I had no idea there were that few tigers left, 3,200 is really really low and only 1,600 giant panda's as well :(

The human race has a LOT to answer for,and they say we are the superior race,i don't think so.

Ammi 03-11-2010 02:31 PM

omg thats awful is it because of climate warming and destruction of the rainforests

Smithy 03-11-2010 02:51 PM

Is that like a specific subspecies of Tiger, or just the Tiger in general?

I disagree, I think we definitely are.

It is sad about these animals though, I had no idea the Tiger was so close to extinction.

Spoiler:


Siberian tiger
The Siberian tiger is also known as the Amur, Manchurian or North China tiger. It is classified as endangered because its population is not sufficiently large enough for it to be sustainable. There are only 400 of these tigers in the wild.

South China tiger

The South China tiger was declared a "pest," and the overall population of this subspecies quickly dropped from about 4,000 to 200 in only 17 years.there are only 59 of these tigers captive in China

Indochinese tiger

The Indochinese tiger is also known as the Corbett's tiger. It is found in Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. The population of this tiger ranges from 1,200 to 1,800

Sumatran Tiger

The Sumatran Tiger is only found on the Indonesian Island of Sumatra and its population is estimated to be between 400 and 500 animals

Bengal Tiger

The Bengal Tiger is also known as the Royal Bengal Tiger. It is found in the Sundarbans, which is a national forest of Bangladesh and of West Bengal in India. In this area, there are about 800 tigers

Malayan Tiger

The Malayan Tiger is found in the southern part of the Malay Peninsula. Up until 2004 the Malayan tiger wasn't considered a subspecies in its own right. It became classified as a subspecies after a study from the Laboratory of Genomic Diversity, which is part of the National Cancer Institute, US. Other than the Bengal Tiger, the Malayan Tiger had the largest population ranging from 600-800 in the wild.

I couldn't believe it either, the reason I posted the topic. I thought there were more tigers in the world, but to find out that there are less than 2300 left in existance shocked me.
