I. The Introduction:

Tiger Tiger Burning Bright………

In The Forest At The Night!!!

The Tiger.......What to say about this most beautiful animal.....My most favourite animal and perhaps the most beautiful animal ever lived on this planet earth by my point of view.Tiger have a perfect blend of beauty and power....also it lives in a conditons very much difficult for hunting and surviving which makes it different from many of his companions!!!!!Here are some of the facts and some information regarding this Beauty With Power beast!!! The Tiger is a mammal of the Felidae family, the largest of four "big cats" in the Panthera genus. Native to the mainland of Asia, the tiger is an apex predator and the largest feline species in the world, comparable in size to the biggest fossil felids. The Bengal Tiger is the most common subspecies of tiger, constituting approximately 80% of the entire tiger population, and is found in India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar and Nepal. It has disappeared from much of its former distribution including the Caucasus, Java and Bali. A powerful hunter with sharp teeth, strong jaws, and an agile body, the tiger is the largest member of the cat family (Felidae). It is also the largest land-living mammal whose diet consists entirely of meat. The tiger's closest relative is the lion. Without the fur, it is difficult to distinguish a tiger from a lion, but the tiger is the only cat with striped fur.
The tiger is an endangered species, with the majority of the world's tigers now living in captivity. Several subspecies are extinct and others critically endangered. Tigers have featured in ancient mythologies and folklore, and continue to be depicted in modern films and literature, as well as appearing on flags, coats of arms and as mascots for sporting teams. It is the national animal of India among other countries. Sadly, this magnificent animal has been hunted by humans and has lost much of its habitat. Three of the eight subspecies have already become extinct, and other populations are also at high risk.
