Sumatran Tiger

Sumatran tigers are one of the smallest subspecies of the tiger family, with an estimated 500-600 left in the wild. However, the actual count is most likely fewer than 400 tigers. In 1978, a census was taken of the Sumatran tigers. It stated that there were about 1,000 tigers in the wild. In the last 25 years, the Sumatran tiger population has been cut in half. Their species is considered “critically” endangered, and their numbers are still going down. Their endangerment would mean that their ecosystem

Between 1985 and 2011, more than 30 million acres of the Sumatran forest disappeared because of the involvement of palm oil. Because of these environmental impacts, it’s leading to animal cruelty, especially for the Sumatran tiger. The deforestation of palm oil is driving Sumatran tigers toward extinction, because of the endangered wildlife environment, hazardous plantations, and starvation. According to One Green Planet, at least 80% of the Sumatran wildlife habitat is lost from the production of palm

Sumatran Tigers Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a Sumatran Tiger? Sumatran Tigers are very interesting and fascinating animals who are faced with very rough conditions every day. Sumatran Tigers are listed on the critically endangered list with around 400-500 left in the world.

Treatment of animals in zoos: Gorilla shot dead while trying to help a boy who fell into the enclosure VS New Zealand zookeeper being killed by endangered Sumatran tiger. Introduction The treatment of animals in zoos has become a very debatable issue, as animals deserve to live in their natural habitat with their family, but they are having to live in cramped, fake living spaces for nearly all their lives, separated from their families, not much room to walk around and being very bored. But two

My interest in tigers started when I was a young child. As a child, my favorite movie was “Winnie the Pooh.” My favorite character, Tigger, is a confident tiger who thinks highly of himself. He is extremely energetic, constantly bouncing on his tail. He acts quickly without thinking sometimes, risking his life. As a matter of fact, for my first, second, and third birthdays my parents bought me a Winnie the Pooh theme cake. I wasn’t aware that several species of tigers were endangered until I started

in the Sumatra Jungle have also caused endangered species such as the Sumatran Orangutan, Rhino and Tiger be on the verge of extinction. In 2014, an environmental friendly organization, GreenPeace, reported that, “The palm oil sector is currently the greatest single driver of deforestation in Indonesia, accounting for about a quarter of all forest loss.” The report also stated that as few as 400 Sumatran Tigers and 7,500 Sumatran Orangutans are thought to remain in the jungle. P&G not only has unethical

This is my narrative. Most people just call me Akot (which is the name on my birth certificate), or Kot, or sometimes KotKot. Victor and Charlie think it is cute to call me Akot the Thot, as in “What were you just thinking of, Akot the Thot?” which I do not find a bit funny. Moreover, Noora calls me Apricot or Quota, I would actually prefer to be called Thine Master, but no one seems to remember. It’s been Noora and I ever since that first September afternoon, when third grade had barely begun

play an important role in the ecosystem. They consume fruits and scatter the seeds through their digestive system all around the forests. This process of scattering seeds around the forests ensures the growth of fruit bearing trees and plants. The Sumatran Orangutan population has depleted drastically in the last twenty to thirty years due to their habitat loss through the clearing of forests to pave way for oil palm plantations and other agricultural developments (Gursky-Doyen, S., & Supriatna, J

February 2016 Tigers Delight The largest tiger in the world has been measured at over ten feet long and over six hundred and sixty pounds! Tigers are apart of the cat family and are known to be the largest feline in the bunch. Within just the tiger species there are nine different subspecies and three of which are already extinct. Their differences are not as drastic in appearance like other animals, such as dogs for example, but they still noticeable to the trained eye. All tiger subspecies are

Tigers are categorized along with six other species of big cats, meaning that these species are more closely related to one another compared to any other cats, such as cheetahs and lynx. The other five species, including the tiger, the lion, the jaguar, the leopard, as well as the snow leopard, split awhile later, some being as recently as only a million years ago, and share the genus name Panthera. Today, there is not a clear scientific agreement about the relationships among the Panthera cats
