The Siberian Tiger Endangered Species

The Siberian TigerEndangered Species

Siberian Tiger - Facts • Average weight of 222.3 kg (490 lb) for

males, and 117.9 kg (260 lb) for females

• Litter size is normally two or four cubs but there can be as many as six

• An adult Siberian tiger will happily gulp down 50 kilograms of meat in a day (9 kg necessary to survive)

Why are they endangered?• The main reason is that humans

(over-)hunt them for their valuable furs

• Siberian tigers require vast forest landscapes to survive; so logging fragments their habitat and separates the tigers from one another

Conservation Efforts

• Humans protect the Siberian Tigers by disallowing tiger hunting

• Logging can be disallowed for the regions that the tigers occupy

Why should we save them?

• We humans caused their endangerment, which deems us responsible to remove them from this status

• If the tigers become extinct, the species under them in the food chain will no longer be controlled

In Conclusion...

• By harming the tigers we harm ourselves, and this applies to all other species

• We have to care for the world and environment around us for it to care for us
