Description

Recognized throughout the world for its ferocity and unmistakable beauty, the tiger faces an uncertain future. Due to increases in both natural and human threats, the wild tiger population suffered major losses during the 20th century and has become one of our most endangered species. By the 1950s, tigers living around the Caspian Sea were extinct; between 1937 and 1972 the population of tigers that once inhabited the islands of Bali and Java disappeared; the South China tiger, with at best 20 to 30 individuals, is nearly extinct in the wild. India today has the largest number of tigers, numbering somewhere between 3,030 and 4,735 and it is estimated that only 5,100 to 7,500 individual tigers now remain in the entire world. These remaining tigers are threatened by many factors, including growing human populations, loss of habitat, illegal hunting of tigers and the species they hunt, and expanded trade in tiger parts used for traditional medicines. WWF and its conservation partners are working to combat these threats and save the tiger. Together, we can ensure that we leave our children a planet where tigers still roam wild. Again, Thank you for your comments!! I wish to thank you all ahead of time for viewing my postings; I just hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy wandering and using my camera! Thanks for taking a peek and commenting

Maybe us humans could all move to a different place and leave these magnificent fellow creatures in peace... The extinction of species is one of the tragedies of our time that we don't fully realise... yet. Wonderful capture! They don't look dangerous at all... ;o)))

Wonderful photo! It's good to see so many of these images posted lately. As photographers, we can help bring about public awareness to these endangered animals both visually and educationally with information like you've provided here. Hats off to you for a wonderful photo, and more importantly, for making people aware of the plight of these magnificent animals. -Steve
