endanger tigers


Tigers have been hunted heavily by humans over the past few years. The tiger population in the Indian sub-continent has declined seriously in the past fifty years. Nepal has only two hundred tigers, while India has about four thousand, a serious decline from the past figures. China and Korea are the biggest criminals as far as tiger poaching is concerned. In the nineteen hundreds, the entire tiger population was more than one lakh. However, today the global tiger population is less than ten thousand animals. Tigers have been hunted by humans since time incarnate. In ancient times, some tigers were also tamed and kept as pets by royalty. Indeed, a tamed cat would add much color to the royal nature of people at that time.Tiger hunting was a sport played by royalty in ancient times. Also, in many Asian countries, there many superstitions regarding tigers. It doesn't matter whether wearing a talisman made out of a tiger's claw has any supernatural powers or not - a tiger will lose his life so that someone makes money out of it.
as you can see these animals are being hunted and killed by us humans.
these mammals are the cutiest thing and we human killed them for coats, belts and lets just say things we use.
these animals are made to be free and doing there lifes not use humans
killing them just because we want to or because the clothing,.
we can still look good without the skin of a animal.

endanger giraffes



At least six distinct species of giraffe, the world's tallest land animal, may be in existence and some of them are critically endangered, scientists in the United States and Kenya have found.
It had previously been thought that there was only one species of giraffe ranging across Africa's golden savannahs.
"Some of these giraffe populations number only a few hundred individuals and need immediate protection," said the study's lead author, geneticist David Brown of the U.S.-based Wildlife Conservation Society.

they use these giraffe to peel there skin off and use them as clothing, purses, and some africans do eat giraffes. these animals are tall mammals that just grows eat grass and it doesn't boder anyone, what i don't understand is that we scared at some animals because they try to hurt us but they have a reason why because we killing them for dum reason, and if i was a animal i will love to bite a human because i'm going to let some human take away my life for dum reason or just for them.





snakes are endanger to?


The snake population is speedily being destroyed to make way for human dwellings or industry.They are also being driven out of their habitat by the introduction of exotic animal species, and are getting contaminated by pesticides too. In the United States, more than half of the snake species currently listed as endangered have declined as a direct result of habitat destruction.


Why should I be aware of this?
--Snakes play a critical role in our environment, because of their role in the food chain.
--Different types of snakes perform different roles.
--Numerous snakes are top level predators, for example, a single rat snake lands up eating over a 100 rats annually.
--They perform a crucial function in controlling insect and other invertebrate populations.
--Snakes in turn are food for other predators, such as foxes and hawks, and so discharge an important role in linking higher and lower feeding levels.


snakes are used in alot of things they use them for purses and even clothes and snakes aremeet to be killed they are really good for the community as you can see above this you see why they good and this might boring you but this happens alot in this world expecially in australia.

These mammals are endanger becausethere are only a few of them left and not just that people kill them because " bad behavior" but when i read in the info(yahoo) they are completly harmness only if there predator gets close like us. i don't understand why they do this when they can get materials from other things these creatures are pretty they are not meant to be hurt.
