-Today there are many species which are very close to extinction: thebeluga whale, the giant panda, the grey wolf, the African black rhino andthe gorilla However, perhaps the most spectacular of all animals in danger

of extinction is the magnificent tiger, the largest cat on the planet

Tigers can be up to 4 metres long and over a metre high, weighing up to

225 kilos and they have beautiful orange fur with black or brown stripes

They hunt animals like wild pigs, deer and buffalo and can eat as much as

40 kilos of meat in one meal

Fifty years ago there were between 25,000 and 30,000 tigers in Asia butthis number has fallen to between 5,000 and 1,000 Since the 1980s, theconservation programme 'Operation Tiger' has tried to save the Indian tiger

by establishing national parks or reserves

Unfortunately, the tiger's body is in enormous demand for traditionalChinese medicine and illegal hunters can get up to $20,000 for a deadtiger Also their habitat is disappearing because poor farmers are cuttingwood at reserves like Ranthambhore National Park in India If we cannotstop the hunting or protect its habitat, in the next few years this great catwill disappear forever
