Siberian Tiger

Tuesday, June 26, 2012

 
  
The Life of Animals | Siberian Tiger | The Siberian Tiger is rusty reddish or rusty yellow, with narrow black stripes. The body length is not less than 150 cm (59 inches), condylobasal skull length 250 mm (9.8 inches), zygomatic width 180 mm (7.1 inches) and length of upper carnassial tooth more than 26 mm (1.0 inches ) long. It is generally 5-10 cm (2.0 to 3.9 inches) larger than the Bengal tiger, which is about 107-110 cm (42-43 inches) high. According to modern research of wild Siberian tigers in the Sikhote-Alin, an adult male on average over 35 months old with a weight of 176.4 kg (389 lb), the average asymptotic limit 222.3 kilograms (490 pounds) is, an adult tigress weighs 117.9 kg (260 lb). The average weight of historical Siberian tigers is expected to be higher: 215.3 kg (475 pounds) for males and 137.5 kg tiger (303 pounds) for women in May 2011 with a weight of a male named "Banzai" 207 kg (460 lb ) was the radio-collar. This individual is heavier, but smaller than a male previously fitted with radio collars. Propose measures more than 50 people trapped, taken that the body size is similar to that of Bengal tigers.


The length of the tail in adult males is about 1 meter (39 inches). In some cases, the Siberian tigers in captivity reached a weight of up to (1.030 pounds) to 465 kg, as the Tiger "Jaipur" The spatial extent of the Amur tiger in Russia's Far East, stretching from south to north for about 1000 km (620 miles) along the entire length of the Primorsky Krai and Khabarovsk Krai in the south east and south of the river Amur. Key habitat for the Amur tiger is the deciduous forests of Korean pine with a complex composition and structure. The complex of ungulates is represented by red deer, wild boar, sika deer, roe deer, moose Manchuria, musk and Ghoral. The number of Amur tiger in China is estimated to be 18-22. About 90% of the population in the mountainous region of Sikhote Alin An unknown number of Tiger Reserve in the areas around Baekdu survive mountains, based on take-off and landing runways and local observations.


Siberian tigers are known to travel up to 1,000 km (620 miles), a distance which marks the boundary of the land exchange by continuous ecologically made In 1992 and 1993 the population density maximum total population of tigers in Sikhote-Alin 0.62 people in 100 km2 (39 sq km) was estimated. Between January 1992 and November 1994 11 tigers were captured, radio-collared and tracked for 15 months in the eastern slopes of the mountains of Sikhote-Alin. Distribution of wild boar was not so much to predict the distribution of the tiger. Although they attack both the Siberian roe deer and Sika, this overlap is small ungulates were with tigers. Distribution of the moose was wrong with the distribution of the tiger. The distribution of preferred habitat of the prey is a key indicator of the precise distribution of the tiger.


In 2004, dramatic changes in land tenure, density and reproduction in the central area of the Sikhote-Alin Zapovednik Siberian Tiger Project have demonstrated what can on that, if the Tigers well against the mortality of people protected during an extended period, the adult female densities increase dramatically.  Siberian tigers reach sexual maturity at age four. Unlike the Bengal tiger, the Siberian tiger is rarely a man-eater. Siberian tigers have been in the past rarely dangerous unless provoked, although in the lower Syr Darya, a tiger and woman collecting wood and killed an unarmed military officer during the period from June, while going through the thicket of reeds. The attacks against the shepherds were recorded in the lower reaches of the Ili.


In the year 1867 have killed the river Tsymukha, Tiger 21 people and injured six others. China's Jilin Province have attacked Tiger woodcutter and coachman, and sometimes enter cabins and pull on adults and children Killed, according to the Bureau of the Japanese police in Korea, a tiger a man, while leopards killed three wild boars and wolves, four 48 in 1928 were only six cases in Russia of the 20 attacks Century recorded unprovoked leading to man-eating behavior. Provoked attacks are frequent, but usually to capture the result of failed attempts In December 1997, intervened Amur tiger wounded, killed and eaten two people. Both attacks occurred in the Bikin valley. The anti-poaching task force investigating two deaths Inspection Tiger hunted and killed the tiger. In January 2002 a man was attacked by a Siberian tiger on a mountain road near Hunchun in Jilin Province, China, near the borders with Russia and North Korea. An examination of the scene of the attack showed that the deer was first made by man unaffected by the tiger. Soon the tiger has been shown to stroll slowly past them. Attacked about an hour after this meeting, the tiger and killed a 26-year-old woman on the same street. Until then, the tiger was found lying at 20 meters, low and barely alive. Despite the extensive surgery by a team of veterinarians, the tiger died of wound infections. The zoo subsequently erected a large fence topped by an electric fence. In January 2011, seized a Siberian tiger killed a bus driver and the tour of a farm in the northern province of Heilongjiang, China.

Malayan Tiger

Thursday, June 21, 2012

  
The Life of Animals | Malayan Tiger | There is no clear difference between Malaysia and the Indochinese tiger when samples of the two regions are compared cranial or coat. Malaysian Tigers appear to be smaller than the Indians. Length of the body taken from 16 women tigers in the state of Trengganu varied from 70 to 103 in (180-260 cm) and the average of 80.1 inches (203 cm). The geographical distribution between Malaysia and Indochina tigers is not clear how the tiger populations in northern Malaysia are contiguous with those in southern Thailand. The total potential habitat of 66 211 km2 tiger was (25564 km ²), which consisted of 37 674 km2 (14,546 square miles) of confirmed cases of tiger habitat, 11,655 km2 (4,500 square miles) of tiger habitat and expected 16,882 km2 (6518 km ²) tiger habitat as possible.


Malayan tigers prey on sambar deer, barking deer, wild boar, bearded pigs in Borneo and Serow. Tigers in Taman Negara also attack sun bears and elephants. Tigers occur at very low densities 1.1-1.98 tigers per 100 square miles in the woods as a result of the low density fixed to maintain viable populations of at least six tiger breeding females, the reservation must be more 1000 square miles. Information on food preferences, morphological measurements, demographic parameters, social structure, communication, range sizes, dispersability are missing.


When the tiger of Malaysia was accepted as a subspecies of the tiger family, the news was warmly received in Malaysia. However, there was brief discussion about the scientific name of the Tiger of Malaysia. The formal description of the subspecies called his name Panthera tigris jacksoni in honor of tiger expert Peter Jackson. In Malaysia, so the Tiger of Malaysia is known as Panthera tigris malayensis. The Tiger of Malaysia is the national animal of Malaysia. A tiger is represented in the arms of Malaysia, representing the government, and appears in heraldry various types of institutions such as Malaysia Royal Malaysian Police, Maybank, Proton and the Football Association of Malaysia. The tiger has been given several nicknames by Malaysians, including "Pak Belang", which literally means "Uncle Stripes." The Tiger Malaysia was made in the Special Service Group insignia.

Indochinese Tiger

  
The Life of Animals | Indochinese Tiger | Male Indochina tigers as 2.55 to 2.85 meters (8.37 to 9.35 m) long, weighing 150-195 kg (330-430 pounds) as measured between the skull 319-365 mm (13-14 inches) in length. Large individuals can weigh over 250 kg (550 pounds). Female Indochinese tigers as 2.30 to 2.55 m (7.55 to 8.37 feet) in length, weight 100-130 kg (221-287 pounds) with a length of 275-311 mm skull (11 12). The average female Indochinese tiger is approximately 2.44 m (8 ft) long and weighs about 115 kg (253 pounds). Indochinese tigers live in secluded forests in hilly to mountainous terrain, most of which lies along the borders between countries. Indochinese tigers prey primarily ungulates of medium and large enterprises. Sambar deer, wild boar, and cattle Serow large gaur and banteng and youth constitute the majority of the diet of the tiger in Indochina.


small prey itself is just enough to satisfy the energy needs of a large carnivore such as the tiger, and is enough to play Tiger. This factor, combined with poaching for Tiger Direct traditional Chinese medicine, is the main factor in the collapse of the Indochinese tiger throughout its range. According to government estimates of national populations of tiger, the subspecies population numbers around a total of 350 individuals All existing populations are at extreme risk reduction hunting of prey due to illegal hunting of wild pigs, deer and habitat fragmentation and inbreeding. Tiger numbers will be difficult to increase unless the residents can see a live tiger as more valuable than a dead man.

Bali Tiger

The Life of Animals | Bali Tiger | The Bali tiger was the youngest of the nine subspecies of tiger, and not comparable with the size of the leopard or panther. Bali tigers had short hair, the orange has been deep, dark and had a smaller number of lines compared to other sub-species of tiger. Bali tigers also had unusual rod-like structures on the head. Bali tiger had an average gestation period of 14-15 weeks. This split the tigers into two groups, which then develops is independent, the second option, the Tigers swam from one island to another to colonize. The road from Bali is located only 2.4 miles wide, making it good in the buoyancy of the Tiger Media. One of the most comprehensive document left by the Hungarian baron Oszkár Vojnic was the Balinese people trapped, hunted and took photos of a tiger. Surabayan gunsmith E. Munaut is confirmed to have killed more than 20 tigers of Bali in a few years. The last confirmed sighting of the tiger was a grown woman, killed 27th September 1937, at Sumbar Kima, in the western part of Bali.


The British Museum in London is the largest collection, with two cups and three skulls belong to the Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt, Natural History Museum in Stuttgart, Naturalis in Leiden Museum and the Zoological Museum at Bogor, Indonesia, the remains of the last known Balinese keeps Tigers . Unlike deer hunting, they have learned very little, if any, Balinese Tiger Hunting embraced before the arrival of Europeans on the island because of tigers as evil, dangerous creatures have been seen. Nevertheless, Tigers had a well-defined position in the folk belief and magic. For example, when the Balinese the bottom of the tiger's whiskers, a powerful, undetectable poison for your enemy to mention be in the same book this, Miguel Covarrubias, the "Island of the Gods", 1937, when a child is born Balinese, got a protective amulet necklace of black coral and "tooth of a tiger or a piece of tiger bones.


As in other Asian countries, the people of Bali tiger parts like wearing jewelry than for the state or for spiritual reasons, such as power and protection. Necklaces of teeth and claws or rings male cabochoned polished ivory teeth of the tiger are still in daily use. Disappeared since Tiger is near Bali and Java were old or recycled parts of Leopard and Sun Bear body parts were used instead. One of the traditional Balinese dance, the Barong, even in one of four forms, a guy named Tiger Barong (Barong Macan).

Bengal Tiger

 
  
The Life of Animals | Bengal Tiger | The coat of the Bengal tiger is light orange yellow, striped with dark brown to black, the belly is white and the inner member, and the tail is orange rings with blacks. Male Bengal tigers have a total length, including the tail, from 270 to 310 centimeters (110 to 120), while the females range from 240 to 265 cm (94 to 104). The average weight of males is 221.2 kg (488 lb), while that of females was 139.7 kg (308 lb). The men captured in the Chitwan National Park in 1970 had an average weight of 235 kg (520 lb) 200 to 261 kg (440-580 lb), and the females was 140 kg (310 lb) from 116 to 164 kg (260-360 lb). The men of North India are as big as the Siberian tiger with a skull length 332-376 mm higher (13.1 inches to 14.8). The white tiger is a recessive mutant of the Bengal tiger, which was reported in the wild from time to time in Assam, Bengal, Bihar and especially the old state of Rewa. There is a case of a real tiger albino duly authenticated, and none of the Black Tigers, with the possible exception of a dead specimen examined in Chittagong in 1846. Bengal tigers are defined by three distinct mitochondrial nucleotide sites and 12 unique microsatellite alleles.


The recent history of tigers in the Indian subcontinent is compatible with the absence of fossils of tigers in India by the end of the Pleistocene and the absence of tigers in Sri Lanka, which was separated from the subcontinent in the early Holocene increase in the water. In the Indian subcontinent, tigers live in tropical evergreen rain forests, dry forests, tropical forests and subtropical moist broadleaf trees, mangrove forests, subtropical and temperate forests of mountain and flood plains. Tiger density of these blocks are high, in part a response to extraordinary biomass of ungulate prey. The basic social unit of the tiger is one of the elements of mother and offspring. Resident adults of both sexes tend to restrict their movements within a defined area of the habitat in which to satisfy their needs, and in the case of tigers, their young growing.


Included in its range of home were much smaller home ranges of two females, a tigress with her cubs and sub-adult Tigre. They occupied home ranges of 16-31 km2 (6.2 to 12 square miles). The house is occupied by resident adult males tend to be mutually exclusive, although one of these residents can tolerate a transient or sub-adult male, at least for some time. A male tiger preserves a vast territory to include the home ranges of several females within its limits, so it can keep the rights to mate with them. In general, there is some overlap with the resident female. Home ranges of males and females are not stable. Changes of less suitable habitat are made from animals that are already resident. New animals become only the residents as vacancies occur when a former resident moves or dies. There are more places for women than for male residents inhabitants. During seven years of camera data capture, monitoring and observation in Chitwan National Park, 6-9 breeding tigers, from 2 to 16 non-breeding tigers, and tigers from 6 to 20 youngsters under one year of age were detected in 'study area of 100 km2 (39 sq km). Residents of the 11 females, 7 were still alive at the end of the study period, two missing after losing their territories to rivals, and 2 deaths. A young tiger was believed dead after being photographed with serious injuries from a trap deer.


White Tiger

The Life of Animals | White Tiger | An additional genetic condition can remove most of the stripping of a white tiger, making the animal almost pure white. The modern strain of snow white tigers CAME from repeated brother-sister  atings of Bhim and Sumita at Cincinnati Zoo.  In 2004, a blue-eyed, stripeless white tiger was born in a wildlife refuge in Alicante, Spain. Stripeless white tigers were the resource persons thought to be sterile until Siegfried & Roy's white stripeless Sitarra Tigress, a daughter of Bhim and Sumita, gave birth. Another variation CAME out the which strains were the resource persons of the white-unusually light orange tigers called "golden tabby tigers". Probably these are orange tigers stripeless the which carry the white gene as a recessive. Some white tigers in India are very dark, the between white and orange.


A white tiger's pale coloration is Caused by the presence of a recessive gene. Another genetic characteristic makes the stripes of the tiger very pale white tigers of this type are Called snow-white or "pure white". White tigers do not constitute a separate subspecies of Their own and can breed with orange ones.


 

If two heterozygous tigers, or heterozygotes, breed on average 25% of Their offspring Will be white, 50% Will be heterozygous orange (white gene carriers) and 25% Will be homozygous orange, with no white genes. In the 1970s a pair of heterozygous orange tigers named Sashi and Ravi produced 13 cubs in Alipore Zoo, of the which three were the resource persons of white If two white tigers breed, 100% of Their cubs Will be homozygous white tigers. A tiger the which is homozygous for the white gene may also be heterozygous or homozygous for many different genes. Inbreeding promotes homozygosity and has been used as a strategy to Produce white tigers.



White tigers are not albinos: true albino tigers would not have stripes. Even the "stripeless" white tigers have very pale stripes. Confusion has arisen due to the misidentification of the so-called chinchilla gene (for white) as an allele of the albino series publications prior to the 1980s refer to it as an albino gene, the mutation is recessive to normal color, the which means That two orange tigers carrying the mutant gene may Produce offspring white, and white tigers together Will Produce Bred only white cubs. Inbreeding allows the effect of recessive genes to show up, Hence the ground and stripe color variations Among white tigers.


A white tiger named Mohini was whiter than her relatives in the Bristol Zoo, WHO showed more cream tones. Kailash Sankhala That white tigers were the resource persons observed always whiter in Rewa State, even They were the resource persons born in New Delhi and returned there. A Weakened immune system is directly linked to reduced pigmentation in white tigers.Because of the extreme rarity of the white tiger allele in the wild, the breeding pool was limited to the small number of white tigers in captivity. A white Amur tiger may have been born at Center Hill and has given rise to a strain of white Amur tigers. 


 
A man named Robert Baudy realized That his tigers Had white genes a tiger he sold to Marwell Zoo in England developed white spots, and Bred Them accordingly The Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa Bay has four of these white Amur tigers, descended from Robert Baudy's stock . It has also been possible to expand the white-gene pool by outcrossing white tigers with unrelated orange tigers and then using the cubs to Produce more white tigers. The white tigers, Ranjit, Bharat, Priya is Bhim were the resource persons and all outcrossed, in some instances to more than one tiger. Bharat was Bred to an unrelated orange tiger named Jack from the San Francisco Zoo and had an orange daughter named Kanchana. Bharat and Priya were the resource persons also Bred with an unrelated orange tiger from Knoxville Zoo, and Ranjit was Bred to this tiger's sister, also from Knoxville Zoo.

 

The last Descendants of Bristol Zoo's white tigers were the resource persons a group of orange tigers from outcrosses the which were the resource persons Bought by a Pakistani senator and shipped to Pakistan. Rajiv, Pretoria Zoo's white tiger, WHO was born in the Cincinnati Zoo, was also outcrossed and sired at least two litters of orange cubs at Pretoria Zoo. The New Delhi Zoo loaned out white tigers to some of India's better zoos for outcrossing, and the government Had to impose a whip to force zoos to return either the white tigers or orange Their offspring. Siegfried & Roy's white tigers have Bred in collaboration with the Nashville Zoo.
