Most live in the mangrove forests of the </div><div><br /></div><div>Sundarbans in eastern India and Bangladesh. Some also live in the neighboring countries Bhutan, Myanmar, and Nepal . There are about 333 </div><div><br /></div><div>Bengal tigers in captivity. Males typically weigh around 500 pounds; the females about 300. All white tigers are male Bengals and have a double </div><div><br /></div><div>recessive gene that causes the coloration. Official status: ENDANGERED.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Indochinese tigers are centered in Thailand, but also in surrounding countries - Myanmar, southern China, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and </div><div><br /></div><div>peninsular Malaysia. They are smaller and darker than Bengal tigers, averaging around 400 pounds for males and 300 for females. Males </div><div><br /></div><div>average about 9 feet long and females about 8 feet in length (not counting the tail). Numbers in the wild are estimated to be in the range </div><div><br /></div><div>1227-1785. There are about 60 in zoos. Official status: ENDANGERED.</div><div><br /></div><div>The smallest and darkest subspecies, Sumatran tigers are reddish and have closely spaced stripes. The males average 250 lbs. About 400-500 </div><div><br /></div><div>remain in the wild, exclusively on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. About 210 of this subspecies are captive around the world. Official status: </div><div><br /></div><div>ENDANGERED.</div><div><br /></div><div>These guys are the largest of the big cats, weighing in at 675 pounds and stretching a full 11 feet. The heaviest Siberian Tiger on record was </div><div><br /></div><div>1025 pounds (Guiness Book of World Records). Only about 360-470 exist in the wild and there are roughly 490 captive. Their habitat is mostly </div><div><br /></div><div>Northeastern Russian. Despite their size, they have been known to jump as far as 33 feet. Official status: ENDANGERED. For more on Siberian </div><div><br /></div><div>tigers, see www.siberian-tigers.com - a general resource of information with numerous links to other Siberian tiger sites.</div><div><br /></div><div>Unfortunately, there are perhaps only 20-30 South Chinese tigers left in the wild and 47 in Chinese zoos. They are found in central and eastern </div><div><br /></div><div>China. China joined CITES in 1981 and passed the Wild Animal Protection Law of the People's Republic of China in 1988. Official status: </div><div><br /></div><div>ENDANGERED.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Extinct tiger sub-species are Javan, Caspian, and Bali</div></div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5339835722559683157-4599811585355141637?l=indiabooms.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vichuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16917838589048124909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339835722559683157.post-6191314014498319302011-05-09T16:55:00.004+05:302011-05-09T17:01:59.650+05:30<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><table width="85%" height="195" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="3" class="rate" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: none; "><tbody><tr><td valign="top" width="4%">1</td><td width="31%" align="right"><div align="left">Crore<br />(1,00,00,000)</div></td><td width="18%" align="right"><div align="center"><img src="http://www.kshitij.com/images/arrowutility.jpg" width="24" height="24" /></div></td><td width="25%">100</td><td width="22%" align="right"><div align="left">Lakhs</div></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">1</td><td align="right"><div align="left">Lakh<br />(1,00,000)</div></td><td align="right"><div align="center"><img src="http://www.kshitij.com/images/arrowutility.jpg" width="24" height="24" /></div></td><td>0.01</td><td align="right"><div align="left">Crores</div></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">1</td><td align="right"><div align="left">Million<br />(1,000,000)</div></td><td align="right"><div align="center"><img src="http://www.kshitij.com/images/arrowutility.jpg" width="24" height="24" /></div></td><td>0.1</td><td align="right"><div align="left">Crores</div></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">1</td><td align="right"><div align="left">Crore<br />(1,00,00,000)</div></td><td align="right"><div align="center"><img src="http://www.kshitij.com/images/arrowutility.jpg" width="24" height="24" /></div></td><td>10</td><td align="right"><div align="left">Million</div></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">1</td><td align="right"><div align="left">Billion<br />(1,000,000,000)</div></td><td align="right"><div align="center"><img src="http://www.kshitij.com/images/arrowutility.jpg" width="24" height="24" /></div></td><td>100</td><td align="right"><div align="left">Crores</div></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" height="34">1</td><td align="right"><div align="left">Crore<br />(1,00,00,000)</div></td><td align="right"><div align="center"><img src="http://www.kshitij.com/images/arrowutility.jpg" width="24" height="24" /></div></td><td>0.01</td><td align="right"><div align="left">Billion</div></td></tr></tbody></table></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5339835722559683157-619131401449831930?l=indiabooms.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vichuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16917838589048124909noreply@blogger.com0
