SWAMP TIGERS : When Tiger Attacks -Documentary Film

The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest cat species, reaching a total body length of approximately 3.38 m (11.1 ft) over contours and evaluating around 388.7 kg (857 lb) in the crazy. Its most recognisable feature is a pattern of dark vertical stripes on reddish-orange fur with a lighter undersurface. The species is categorized in the genus Panthera with the lion, jaguar, leopard and snow leopard. Tigers are apex predators, largely victimizing ungulates such as bovids and deer. They are territorial and normally singular yet social animals, often needing huge adjoining areas of habitat that support their prey needs. This, paired with the truth that they are native to several of the more largely populated places on Earth, has actually triggered substantial disputes with humans.
Tigers once varied extensively across Asia, from Turkey in the west to the eastern coastline of Russia. Over the past 100 years, they have shed 93 % of their historic array, and have actually been extirpated from south west and central Asia, from the islands of Java and Bali, and from big locations of Southeast and Eastern Asia. Today, they range from the Siberian taiga to open meadows and exotic mangrove swamps. The staying six tiger subspecies have actually been classified as jeopardized by IUCN. The international population in the crazy is approximated to number between 3,062 and 3,948 individuals, below around 100,000 at the beginning of the 20th century, with most staying populations occurring in small pockets separated from each other, which about 2,000 exist on the Indian subcontinent. Major reasons for population decrease include habitat damage, habitat fragmentation and poaching. The level of area inhabited by tigers is approximated at less than 1,184,911 km2 (457,497 sq mi), a 41 % decrease from the area estimated in the mid-1990s.
Tigers are between the most recognisable and popular of the world's charming megafauna. The tiger is the national animal of Bangladesh, India, Vietnam, Malaysia and South Korea.
