Amur tigers living in the Zoo of the Chinese city of Harbin have greatly scored in weight that they could not not notice visitors. The fused animals were less mobile, and most of the time spend in a lying position. The zoo staff noted that the weight gain is associated with the winter period, when many animals are added in weight. According to them, the predators should return to their usual shape. A completely different opinion on this expense of the International Organization for the Protection of Animals Born Free Foundation, where they believe that the tigers urgently need help.

According to President Born Free Foundation Will Travers (Will Travers), excess weight is the result of improper nutrition, poor attitude and heavy living conditions. In the opinion of visitors, the tigers fused due to the fact that tourists often fed them, and Jarryd Salem's writer and traveler said that in this zoo, which contains about 800 amur tigers, employees themselves overwhelm animals by chicken, kglyatin and beef .

Despite this, the President of the International Organization for the Protection of Animals Born Free Foundation Will Traverts (Will Travers) noted that it categorically disagrees with the employees of the Chinese Zoo. "Tigers suffer from obesity, which testifies to the inappropriate and unnatural nutrition for them. In my opinion, it is not at all funny and not cute. This animal is bad," he said.

In the Zoo of the Chinese province, Henan will grow six cigriers of Chinese subspecies. According to experts, this is the rarest of the remaining six subspecies of Tigers: no more than 40 individuals live in nature. The remaining 177 animals are contained in
Chinese zoos.

ON A NOTE

Baby, and these are three male and three females, healthy and now I care about the employees of the star. Tigrite is fed with milk mixture and fresh meat six times a day.

At the same time, the tigers who live in zoos have never been wild, which means all the individuals obtained in captivity have related ties.

KEEP IN MIND

Chinese Tiger is the most miniature of tigers. The males weigh from 127 to 177 kg, the length of the body is about 2 and a half meters.

For comparison, the Bengal tiger grows up to 3 or more meters.

It turns out

Tiger is one of the largest land predators, yielding only bears by weight. The total number is estimated at 5 thousand individuals and the most numerous subspecies (40% of the entire population) remains Bengal Tiger. Meanwhile, the size and weight of animals of all subspecies different and mainland individuals are usually larger than island. Amur tiger is considered the largest, 95 percent of whose population (and this is about 500 animals), lives in our country. It is worth noting that today tigers are populated only 7% of the initial range and the largest amount has been preserved only in India.

IT IS IMPORTANT

Scientists allocate nine subspecies of tigers, of which at the beginning of the XXI century six: Amur, Bengali, Indochoysky, Malay, Sumatran and Chinese. All of them differ in the amount and size of the strips, as well as the brightness of the color and the color of the wool.

IT IS INTERESTING

Characteristic patronizing color allows the tiger to remain unnoticed in thickets. Moreover, the striped pattern is also present on the skin, and, if you shave the fur, then dark wool grow on dark bands, and the drawing is completely restored. Their location is unique in each individual animal, and thus can be used to identify individuals, similar to the fingerprints in humans.

Amur Tiger is the northernmost and largest subspecies. It is found in the Far East, in the Primorsky and Khabarovsk Territory, as well as in small quantities in the territory of Northeast China. Bengalsky lives in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar. According to the Indian government information, the number of this subspecies is approximately 2000 animals. But the largest population of the Indochian Tiger settled in Malaysia. How many of the 1200 animals there are exactly, it is not known, but this subspecies can also be found in Cambodia, Myanmar, South China, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam. Another subspecies - the Malay Tiger - lives exclusively in the Southern (Malaysian) part of the Malacca Peninsula. This subspecies was highlighted in 2004. Latest numbers of numbers showed the presence of 600 individuals. The next subspecies - Sumatran - also endemic, but already the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The diet population is estimated at 400 animals. By the way, recent genetic studies have shown the presence of this subspecies of unique genetic markers in the genotype. This means that on the basis of this subspecies, a separate species of feline may occur over time. The life expectancy of the tiger in nature is up to 26 years.
