6,000 Tigers
Tigers are the largest species of cat . It is heavily hunted for its fur and its bones .
All tigers are endangered . There are only about 3000 or 4000 of the animals left in the wild !!!
There were 100,000 tigers 100 years ago !
Not only does it suffer from hunting but large areas of its habitat is being destroyed they need lots of space to hunt . The Bengal tiger which is the most common needs dense forest to live in and their fur blends in.
They often eat amber deer, wild pig, water buffalo and antelope . When they are old or injured they eat dogs humans and cattle .
India holds the worlds largest population of tigers and the Indian government has paid $153 million to tackle poaching. Since this tiger numbers of tigers have increased by 30% .
My plan is to make a tiger zoo so the tigers can breed safely .I want the zoo to be able to increase tigers to 6000 !!!!
