Characteristics of Tigers

The Siberian-Tiger is a solitary hunter and night, which can travel distances of 10 to 20 km in a single night. The tiger live on average 20 years old, and the male lives less than female, because they are always in confrontation with other males because of prey. It weighs 300 kg, 1 meter and 3 meters long (with 80 cm tail). In order of carnivores, the only animal that is exceeded in size the bear.

Originally from eastern Siberia, there are 20 or 30 thousand years old, set out to conquer the vast territory it occupies today in Asia. It runs at a speed of up to 80 km / h and can jump to a height of 5 to 6 meters, however, is not able to climb trees. Their sense is keener hearing. The view is so weak that it does not distinguish, besides hundred paces; smell practically nonexistent. Hunting at night or at dawn, the rest of the time is for sleeping. Tigers usually do not attack humans, who do, are old or sick animals.

Feed

The tiger lives in stepes icy, wet forests and woodlands. Due to the wide geographical distribution, feeding the tigre is diverse. In general devours deer and swine, but when these are lacking, nourished by bears in Siberia, and cattle in India and Indonesia.

The killer
Thanks to camouflage provided by the design and color of its coat, which blurs the line contour of your body against the vegetation, the tigre can approach their prey undetected. When is 20 meters away, the tiger crouches and after walking almost dragging the ground during a stretch, jump forward, trying to bite the neck of his victim while immobilized by the shoulders or the back. Only 5% of attacks tigre succeed. The tiger kills, on average, between 40 and 50 arrested during a year, which equates to

one every eight days. In the case of tigers with cubs, which have the food, the time devoted to hunting is greater. Muscles strong and elastic, the tiger is capable of killing a buffalo with a kick and, holding it with their prey, dragging it for hundreds of meters.

Reproduction and pregnancy

Females Tigers attract partners emitting a roar. The romance between them is not always violent and sometimes can take a very endearing. Gestation lasts 103-105 days, and 2 or 3 cubs born at a time. Only the female takes care of the puppies after they are born, but if, perchance, an adult male who just slaughtered his game to meet some chicks, even if not his, he leaves creates eat your hunt

Species
Live in Asia and the species is divided into two main subspecies, the Siberian Tiger-ofthat receives the scientific name Panthera tigris altaicae, and Tiger of Bengal-which is classified as Panthera tigris tigris.

In the photo below, four tiger cubs resting in the zoo Nandan Kanan, in the Indian city of Bhubaneswar. The local government announced the construction of a second zoo to receive 27 tigers and African lions that had been transferred to Andhra Pradesh. The Indian tiger population decreased from 4,300 to 3,500 over the past 11 years. Between 200 and 300 tigers are killed every year in India.

hunting
With his proud bearing, loose in the woods, scenting their prey with cunning hunter or defending their territory, the tiger seems an invincible beast. But in the last two hundred years it was hunted to be virtually eliminated from the jungles. Today is among the animals most at risk of extinction.

Although they may live in varied climates and environments, tigers can not live with humans. So many tigers were killed by man, that two subspecies are already extinct: the Tigris and the Caspian-the-Tiger-in-Bali. Altogether left about five thousand species.

The parrot, also known by the names, acamatanga, parrot-Bahian acumatanga, ageru, ajuruet, ajurujur, camatanga, curau, parrot-common-curau parrot, parrot-blue-fronted parrot-Greek and trumpeter (Amazona aestiva), a bird of the family Psittacidae. Geographic Distribution & Habitat It is found in moist or dry woods, on banks of rivers and cerrades in Bolivia, Paraguay and northern Argentina. In Brazil, the Northeast occurs (Piau, Pernambuco, Bahia), the central Brazil (Minas Gerais, Gois and Mato Grosso), the Rio Grande do Sul; absent in coastal areas unlike Amazona amazonica.

Characterization The parrot-real has about 35 cm long and weighs about 400 g. Displays yellow head, forehead and blue parrot, wing mirror, against the base of the tail and wings red. The color of the iris of adults is yellow-orange (male) or red-orange (female, especially a

thin red ring sternum), have immature brown iris uniform. The beak is black in the adult male. It is one of the species most beautiful and intelligent birds on the planet and its life expectancy is 80 years, being cared for. Commerce, the species decline The parrots are illegally captured and transported to be sold illegally, the only way to have that birds and other wildlife is having a Brazilian bird with washer, document, and the person responsible must have the permission of IBAMA (Brazilian Institute of Environment and Natural Resources Renewable Natural). Besides capturing when there are also captured many lost eggs and chicks die in the act of withdrawal of birds nests, because often collapses the tree, thus eliminating the places also favorable for reproduction, for example, the old palm trees, which are the best places for these birds procreate. We also highlight the lack of food, due to the elimination of native fruit trees in the forests. Feed His power in nature is the basis of nuts, berries and seeds (mainly legumes). In captivity are offered in addition to the commercial feed, fruits, seeds and vegetables, a simulation of a balanced diet with all the nutrients needed for a healthy life in captivity, when cubs in captivity, they need extra care, because it is necessary to monitor the power should be given directly in the mouth, until he has the ability to feed himself. In naturaza seek their food both in the crowns of the tallest trees, as in some bushes fruitful. Climbing the Ramaria use the beak as a third leg, use their paws to hold the food, leading to the mouth. Seeds like more than the pulp of the fruit. They are attracted by fruit trees like mango, jaboticabeira, guava, papaya and orange trees. Reproduction Nest in hollow trunks of palms and other trees; take advantage of the decomposition crevices in rocks or even eroded gullies. Afofam the bottom of their cavities with ground wood, which facilitates the drying of the background bathed by liquid stools. The posture is 4 eggs. The chicks leave the nest after two months. This species begins to play late, with 3 to 4 years. Nest September onwards. For captive breeding, use the hollow trunks of trees botem them upright so that the puppies are well protected gidos, after having shelled eggs, two months after their offspring will have the ability to go out and fly the nest. Geographic Races There are two geographical races: A. aestiva, meeting with Red Wing (eastern Brazil) and A. aestiva xanthopteryx, with date, small coverts upper and yellow head, remembering the last A. ochrocephala, but the forehead is blue (Bolivia, Argentina, Brazil, Western is very negotiated) in the Pantanal, Mato Grosso, there is a transition region (against mixed red and yellow).
