Siberian Tiger

 

Animal You | Siberian Tiger | The Siberian tiger is yellow or rusty red, with black stripes thin cross. The body length is not less than 150 cm (60 inches), the length of the skull condylobasal 250 mm (10 inches), zygomatic width 180 mm (7 inches) and the length of the upper carnassial tooth more than 26 mm (1 inch ) long. Generally, 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) longer than the Bengal tiger, which is about 107-110 cm (42-43 inches) tall. The measures taken by scientists Siberian Tiger Project in Sikhote-Alin range 178-208 cm (70 to 82) of the head and body length measured in a straight line, with an average of 195 cm (77 inches) males and females ranging from 167 to 182 cm (66-72 inches) with an average of 174 cm (69 inches). The tail is an average of 99 cm (39 inches) in males and 91 cm (36 inches) in females.

The longest male "Maurice" measured 309 cm (122 inches) in total length (tail of 101 cm (40 inches)) and had a circumference of 127 cm (50 inches). The longest women "Maria Ivanna" measure 270 cm (110 inches) in total length (tail of 88 cm (35 inches)) and had a circumference of 108 cm (43 inches). These measurements show that the present Amur tiger is longer than the Bengal tiger and the African lion. According to modern research of wild Siberian tigers in Sikhote-Alin, an average adult male over 35 months weighs 176.4 kg (389 lbs), the average asymptotic limit is 222.3 kg (490 lbs) adult tigress weighs 117.9 kg (260 lb). The mean weight of historical Siberian tigers is supposed to be higher: 215.3 kg (475 pounds) for males and 137.5 kg Tigers (303 lb) for women. In May 2011, a man named "Banzai" weighing 207 kg (460 lb) has a radio collar. The queue length in the mature male is about 1 m (39 inches). In some cases, Siberian tigers in captivity reached a body weight of up to 465 kg (1,030 pounds), like the tiger "Jaipur".

The skull of the Siberian tiger is distinguished by its larger overall size, as well as the development of its sagittal crest, whose height and strength exceeds that of other tigers and lions. The variation in the size of the skulls of Siberian tigers varies from 331-383 mm (13.0 to 15.1 inches) measured in nine individuals. Female skulls range from 279.7 to 310.2 mm (11.01 to 12.21 cm). Turkestan skull length men had a length of 297.0 to 365.8 mm (11.69 to 14.40 cm), while females measured from 195.7 to 255.5 mm (7.70 to 10, 06 cm). In January 1954, a dead tiger in the Kopet-Dag Sumbar had a maximum length of skull 385 mm (15.2 inches), which is considerably larger than the known maximum for this population and slightly exceeds that of most tigers in the Far East. However, it was only condylobasal length 305 mm (12.0 inches) smaller than those of the Amur tigers, with a maximum length of 342 mm recorded condylobasal (13.5 inches). The largest skull of a measure Manchuria Siberian tiger of 406 mm (16.0 inches) long, which is about 20-30 mm (0.79 to 1.2 inches) longer than the maximum length skull obtained by Amur tigers and northern India.

The background color of the layer of the Siberian tiger is often very pale, especially in the winter coat. However, variations within populations can be considerable. Compared with the population now extinct, west of summer, the Siberian tiger and the Far East winter coats contrast sharply with other subspecies. The summer coat is coarse, while the winter coat is denser, longer, softer and silky. The hair on the back summer is 15-17 mm (0.59 to 0.67 inches) long, 30-50 mm (1.2-2.0 inches) along the top of the neck, 25-35 mm (0, 98 to 1.4 inches) in the abdomen, and 14-16 mm (0.55 to 0.63 inches) tail. The skin in winter back is 40-50 mm (1.6 to 2.0 inches), 70-110 mm (2.8 to 4.3 inches) above the neck, 70-95 mm ( 2.8 to 3.7 cm) 100 throat 60 mm (2.4 to 3.9 inches) to the chest and 65-105 mm (2.6 to 4.1 inches) in the abdomen. The whiskers are 90-115 mm (3.5 to 4.5 inches). This region represents a melting zone of two biogeographic regions: East Asia coniferous and deciduous boreal complex and the complex, resulting in a mosaic of forest types varies with altitude, topography and history. Key habitats for the Amur tiger are Korean pine forests with a complex composition and structure. Sika deer are confined to the southern half of the Sikhote-Alin mountain.

The number of Amur tigers in China is estimated at 18-22. Over 90% of the population is in the region of Sikhote Alin An unknown number of surviving tigers in the reserve areas around Baekdu Mountain, based on the slopes and local observations. Siberian tigers reach sexual maturity at age four. A comprehensive genetic sampling of 95 wild tigers Russian remarkably low genetic diversity, the effective population size extremely small compared to the size of the population census, the population behaves as if it were only 27-35 people. The winter of 2006-2007 was characterized by heavy poaching. In recent years, the last viable population Siberian tiger in Russia is limited to Ussuriland. Legal tiger hunting in the Soviet Union will continue until 1947, when it was officially banned. In 1980, it was estimated that the Siberian tiger population consisted of approximately 250 animals. Traps heat detection camera installed in the DMZ in South Korea has been no tigers.

Bengal Tiger

 

Animal You | Bengal Tiger | The coat of the Bengal tiger is yellow, light orange, with stripes ranging from dark brown to black, the abdomen and the internal parts are white, and the tail is orange with black rings. Male Bengal tigers have an average length of 270-310 cm (110-120), with the tail, females 240-265 cm (94-104) average. The tail is usually 85-110 cm (33-43 inches) in length and average tigers are 90-110 cm (35-43 inches) tall at the withers. The average weight of males is 221.2 kg (488 lbs), while that of women is 139.7 kg (308 lb). The white tiger is a recessive mutant of the Bengal tiger in the wild have been reported from time to time in Assam, Bengal, Bihar and especially from the former state of Rewa. In 1929, the British taxonomist Pocock assumed that tigers in southern India has come too late to Sri Lanka to India previously connected by a land bridge to colonize.

In the Indian subcontinent, tigers live in the rainforests and tropical evergreen, dry forests, deciduous tropical and subtropical mangroves, swamps, forests, mountains, subtropical and temperate grasslands and alluvial. Density of tigers in these blocks are high, partly a response to the extraordinary biomass ungulate prey. The basic unit of social tiger is one of the basic mother and her offspring. Otherwise, they lead a solitary life, hunting singly scattered areas of forest and large animals that serve as food. They establish and maintain habitats. Resident adults of both sexes tend to limit their movements in a specific area of habitat where their needs, and, in the case of tigers, of their growing young.

Panna Tiger Reserve in an adult male tiger radio collars moved from 1.7 to 10.5 km (1.1 to 6.5 kilometers) between positions in the following days in the winter, and 1-13 9 km (0.62 - 8.6 km) in the summer. Included in the supply of housing are much smaller intervals of two girls, a tiger with her cubs and sub-adults Tigre. The house is inhabited by resident adult males tend to be mutually exclusive, although one resident male can tolerate transient or sub-adults, at least for a time. A male tiger maintains a vast area to the ranges of several females within its borders, so that it can retain the right to mate with them. Spacing among women is less complete. Habitats of men and women are not stable. Changes in the best habitat less suitable are made from animals that are resident. There are more places for women than for men inhabitants.

Seven years of camera data capture, monitoring and observation in Chitwan National Park, 6-9, 2-16 non-breeding breeding tigers, tigers and tigers 6-20 young people with less than a year are discovered in studies of 100 km2 ( 39 square miles). 4 resident males, was still alive and 3 were displaced by rivals. A tiger youth was given for dead after being photographed with serious injuries to the deer fall. Tigers are carnivores. Among the species of medium-sized prey often slain Pork boar and deer from time to time, muntjac and Gray langur. Small prey such as porcupines, hares and peacocks are a very small part of their diet. The nature of the hunting of the tiger method and prey availability results on a diet of "all or nothing" often consume 18-40 kg (40-88 lb) of meat at one time.

Bengal tigers have been known to other predators such as leopards, wolves, jackals, foxes, crocodiles, bears, Asiatic black bears laziness, and dholes as prey to take, although these predators are not typically a part of their diet. Adult elephants and rhinoceroses are too large to be successfully tackled by tigers, but these are extremely rare events. The Indian hunter and naturalist Jim Corbett described an incident in which two tigers fought and killed a large elephant. The tiger in India do not have a specific mating and birth seasons. A tiger goes into heat at intervals of about 3-9 weeks and react for 3-6 days. The boy left the territory of their mother, as young women.

A particular area of interest lies in the Terai Arc Landscape in the Himalayas in northern India and southern Nepal, where 11 protected areas consists of dry forests hills and tall grass savannas harbor tigers in a 49.000 km ² (19,000 square miles) landscape . The goals are to tigers as a single metapopulation management, the spread of nuclear shelters help maintain genetic integrity, demographic and ecological, and ensure that species and habitats is integrated in the rural development program.

The approach has been successful in reducing poaching, restoring habitats, and creating a local constituency for conservation. WWF has worked with Leonardo DiCaprio a global campaign to form, Save Tigers Now, with the ambitious aim of strengthening the population's political, financial and public double by 2022 wild tiger. Save Tigers Now campaign began in 12 priority landscapes of various WWF Tiger, from May 2010
