Once there was 8 different species of tiger around Asia. Now there's only 5, and not so many of them either. Regardless of international protection tiger is still in big danger to vanish. Illegal hunters are hunting it, because many parts of tiger is used in Asian countries for medicine. And other reason for tigers to vanish is that their natural habitat is getting smaller. Human is destroying tiger's habitat by spreading everywhere. We are so selfish and ignorant. Every tiger needs about 100 big prays per year. And pray needs something to eat, drink, and some place to live on. But when Asia's nature is getting smaller and smaller every year, there's not enough food for everybody. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
