Save the Tiger!

Some animals have already disappeared and are called extinct species. Other animals are
called endangered because they are in danger of disappearing. One of these is the tiger. Since
1911,over 100.000 tigers have lived in different areas of Asia. Now, there are only 7000 tigers
left and some of them live in zoo boxes , in India.
Royal tiger
Most people think tigers are dangerous to human. The truth is that humans are dangerous to tigers because
they destroy their habitat and kill the small animals that tigers eat. Farmers in Asia poison tigers in order to
protect their farm animals. Tigers are also hunted for their beautiful skin and for parts of their body, which are
used in traditional medicines.
Nowadays governments and organizations like the World Wildlife Fund are trying to prevent the tiger from
disappearing.
