Tigers are native to the South and East of Asia. They can grow up to 4 metres (13 ft) in length and 300 kilograms(660 pounds) in weight. They are generally solitary and territorial, therefore requires huge amount of spaces to have enough preys to hunt.
Out of the Eight species of Tigers, Six are already extinct. The remaining Tigers are also facing the threat of extinction. This is due to the continually destruction of their habitats and the fur industries which hunt them for their fur.
According to a poll by Animal Planet, the Tiger is the world's favourite animal. 21% of the 50,000 people polled Tiger, beating the dog's poll of 20% narrowly. We must protect these last remaining species should we want our future generations to have a chance to see this beauty.
