The tiger, one of the most magnificent animals in the
world, is also one of the most endangered species in the

m
world. A cat of beauty, strength, and majesty, the tiger is a
master of all and subject to none, except humans! According

xa
to the USA's Endangered Species Act, an endangered
species is an animal, plant or any other kind of wildlife that
is likely to face extinction in its natural habitat.

/e
by up to 95 per cent since 1900. Of the eight original
subspecies of tigers, three have become extinct within the

m
last 60 years; and there are less than 50 South China tigers
left on this planet, and possibly none, survive in the wild.
Tigers increasingly compete with expanding human
co
population and industry for land and food, and many are
killed by hunters who sell their skins and body parts as
ingredients for traditional Chinese medicines.
If these trends continue, the wild tiger may evolvelve
n.
from being an endangered species to become an extinct tinct
species. A few of the remaining endangered subspecies may
tio

survive only in zoos; others will live only inn stories, pictures
pictu
and myths, never again to roam the earth.
