Tiger on a Tree" follows the life of a tiger. It starts off with showing a tiger who is on shore, and seems like he is in little bit of a rush. As he is running off somewhere, he needs to pass some obstacles. The first one is the ocean. The desperate tiger has to be bold enough to go across. Then as he keeps on running, he passes a deer. The deer, who becomes frightened, also flees. While the tiger runs, he finds a tree. Without any hesitation, he climbs it! At this point of the story, nobody knows why the tiger has to keep on running, until a man with a net shows up. He yells out that the tiger is on the tree, and then a group of other people show up. They all grab onto the net and traps the tiger. The poor and desperate tiger does not know what to do. Will he get caught? If so, what will become of him? You can feel the tiger's emotions. The Tiger Species Survival Plan has condemned the breeding of white tigers, alleging they are of mixed ancestry and of unknown lineage. The genes responsible for white colouration are represented by 0.001% of the population. The disproportionate growth in numbers of white tigers points to inbreeding among homozygous recessive individuals. This would lead to inbreeding depression and loss of genetic variability. [71]

The tiger's closest living relatives were previously thought to be the Panthera species lion, leopard and jaguar. Results of genetic analysis indicate that about 2.88million years ago, the tiger and the snow leopard lineages diverged from the other Panthera species, and that both may be more closely related to each other than to the lion, leopard and jaguar. [32] [33] The geographic origin of the Panthera is most likely northern Central Asia. The tiger–snow leopard lineage dispersed in Southeast Asia during the Miocene. [34] a b Piper, P.

The tiger is a rare animal that is essential to the variety and health of an ecosystem. At the top of the food chain, it is a top predator. As a result, the existence of tigers in the forest is a sign that the ecology is healthy. Tiger conservation in forests safeguards a variety of other species habitats. The tiger's skull is similar to a lion's skull, with the frontal region usually less depressed or flattened, and a slightly longer postorbital region. The lion skull shows broader nasal openings. Due to the variation in skull sizes of the two species, the structure of the lower jaw is a reliable indicator for their identification. [19] The tiger has fairly stout teeth; its somewhat curved canines are the longest among living felids with a crown height of up to 90mm (3.5in). [23] Size a b Schwarz, E. (1912).

The tiger is one of the animals displayed on the Pashupati seal of the Indus Valley civilisation. The tiger was the emblem of the Chola Dynasty and was depicted on coins, seals and banners. [210] The seals of several Chola copper coins show the tiger, the Pandyan emblem fish and the Chera emblem bow, indicating that the Cholas had achieved political supremacy over the latter two dynasties. Gold coins found in Kavilayadavalli in the Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh have motifs of the tiger, bow and some indistinct marks. [211] The tiger symbol of Chola Empire was later adopted by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and the tiger became a symbol of the unrecognised state of Tamil Eelam and Tamil independence movement. [212] The Bengal tiger is the national animal of India and Bangladesh. [213] The Malaysian tiger is the national animal of Malaysia. [214] The Siberian tiger is the national animal of South Korea.

This first glimpse of the tiger reminded me of the way Hobbes slept on a tree in that iconic comic strip (of Calvin and Hobbes fame)

Panthera tigris trinilensis lived about 1.2million years ago and is known from fossils excavated near Trinil in Java. [36] The Wanhsien, Ngandong, Trinil, and Japanese tigers became extinct in prehistoric times. [37] Tigers reached India and northern Asia in the late Pleistocene, reaching eastern Beringia, Japan, and Sakhalin. Some fossil skulls are morphologically distinct from lion skulls, which could indicate tiger presence in Alaska during the last glacial period, about 100,000 years ago. [38] a b Karanth, K.

The tiger historically ranged from eastern Turkey and Transcaucasia to the coast of the Sea of Japan, and from South Asia across Southeast Asia to the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Java and Bali. [50] Since the end of the last glacial period, it was probably restricted by periods of deep snow lasting longer than six months. [73] [74] Currently, it occurs in less than 6% of its historical range, as it has been extirpated from Southwest and Central Asia, large parts of Southeast and East Asia. It now mainly occurs in the Indian subcontinent, the Indochinese Peninsula, Sumatra and the Russian Far East, while its status in the Korean Peninsula is unknown.

However, because tigers see at night six times better than humans do, they have an edge over their preys.Guillery, R. W.; Kaas, J. H. (1973). "Genetic abnormality of the visual pathways in a "white" tiger". Science. 180 (4092): 1287–1289. Bibcode: 1973Sci...180.1287G. doi: 10.1126/science.180.4092.1287. PMID 4707916. S2CID 28568341. Schwarz based his description on a skin and a skull of an adult female tiger from Bali. He argued that its fur colour is brighter and its skull smaller than of tigers from Java. [27] [28] A typical feature of Bali tiger skulls is the narrow occipital plane, which is analogous with the shape of skulls of Javan tigers. [29] Many people in China and other parts of Asia have a belief that various tiger parts have medicinal properties, including as pain killers and aphrodisiacs. [171] There is no scientific evidence to support these beliefs. The use of tiger parts in pharmaceutical drugs in China is already banned, and the government has made some offences in connection with tiger poaching punishable by death. [ which?] Furthermore, all trade in tiger parts is illegal under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora and a domestic trade ban has been in place in China since 1993. [172] Panthera zdanskyi is considered to be a sister taxon of the modern tiger. It lived at the beginning of the Pleistocene about two million years ago, its fossil remains were excavated in Gansu Province, northwestern China. It was smaller and more " primitive", but functionally and ecologically similar to the modern tiger. It is disputed as to whether it had the striping pattern. Northwestern China is thought to be the origin of the tiger lineage. Tigers grew in size, possibly in response to adaptive radiations of prey species like deer and bovids, which may have occurred in Southeast Asia during the Early Pleistocene. [35]
