Tiger Extinction


Tigers are going to be extinct
The amount of tigers in the early 1900s was upwards of 100,000 tigers alive and well. The amount of tigers in 1980 were less then 4,000. Along the way the Bali tiger, the Caspian tiger, and the Javan tiger all became extinct. The years were 1930s, 1970s,  and 1980s. Today all 5 types of tigers are on the critically endangered species list and it doesn't look like they are coming off. Most tigers are on reserves and in zoos only for there own protection and possible reproductive reason. The Amoy tiger was in upwards 4,900 in 1949, to today there is only 50.  None are known to be surviving in the wild, all are in zoos and wildlife preserves. Each of the tigers species is in danger. Personally i would love to have my own tiger and save them from extinction.
