Can Siberian tigers survive in different places?

Siberian tigers have never really left the wild. In fact, recent studies show an increase in their numbers to nearly 600. Additional Info: The Siberian or Amur Tiger is considered ciritically endangered. Back in the 1940's they were facing the point of extinction, with only 40 tigers in the wild. They have made a remarkable come back! Thanks in part, to strict anti-poaching laws, and many other conservation practices put in place by the Russians, along with the help of other groups. The State Council of The People's Republic of China, issued a notice, making it against the law to use tiger bone for medicinal purposes, in 1993. They have, with the help of the Ministry of Public Health, tried to push companies to find alternatives to the long used tiger bone, for their medications. Even with a jump in poaching incidents in the 1990's, the population has held up surprisingly well. The population has been fairly steady for the last decade and with the new studies and further projects to protect their habitat and re-enforce poaching laws there is hope it may expand. There are now, at last count 431 to 529 indivduals in the wild, and a new count is under way now, along with several other new programs. For more information please see the sites listed below.

Two reasons why Siberian Tigers endangered?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Overhunting was an early reason for the decline of this species, Indian princes and foreign hunters took an enormous toll of the great cats in the 1800's to mid 1900's.

As the human population expanded, more land was cleared for settlements and crops, meaning less land for tigers. Conflicts occured, and the tiger was the loser. Finally, quack Chinese medicines made from tiger body parts led to a lucrative poaching trade, pressuring the tigers even more. Today, Bengal tigers are afforded the strictest protection, and the last survey showed an increase in their numbers, up to around 1800 from a low of around 1411.

Why the tiger become endangered species because the food chain?

Asked by Wiki User

Tigers are beautiful creatures. But their beauty can make them extinct.

Tigers are endangered because their fur is beautiful and many rich people like to wear them. Their en-dangerous is mostly made by farmers. When a tiger loses its territory it starts to steal sheeps, cows, horses, ducks and sometimes donkeys. When a farmer had discovered that his animals are gone , he/she starts to make traps for the tiger. Tigers are caught and farmers start to hunt for tigers. But the truth, tigers didn't do anything, if he/she was a man eater well then its the only option but it will continue like this, in next 10 years it is expected that tigers will be history.

The Siberian Tiger population was severely affected by the Russian Civil War of the 1930's, and the Soviet Union did prohibit the legal hunting of tigers, within their borders in 1947. The US Fish and Wildlife Services Program, listed the Siberian Tiger as "endangered", according to the Endangered Species List, in 1970.

What is the bite force of a Siberian tiger?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to the "animal face-off" series, a male tiger has an impressive bite force of 1000 pounds. This is equal to 453 kg, and it means that it can cut through bone. There are indeed cases of male tigers that pierced through the skulls of other male tigers with their canines, during territorial fights. The lion has also the same bite force. In the "animal face-off" series, it was stated that scientists have developed a statistical formula to measure the bite force; Bite force = 2 (M x m+ T x t) / Length U, according to which, the bite force for both the tiger and the lion is 1000 pounds. However, the bite force is not the same for all tigers (and lions). It depends on the size, strength, age (etc) of the particular individual. Hyenas have a greater bite force than tigers (and lions). However, a tiger's bite (or a lion's bite) is much more devastating than a hyena's bite, because of the larger teeth that a tiger (or a lion) has.
they bite so hard that when they bite they can rip your flesh open

If you live with a cat who is very skittish of you to the point of hiding every time you are around how do you get him to like you?

User Avatar

Asked by Silvereagle2061

It has been my experience that all cats get over skittishness behavior. It just takes a lot of patience and letting it decide when to make up to you. I took someone else's cat and it took 3 years for it to warm up to me and change its ways from the previous owner. The cat I took was 2 years old at the time I got it. Some cats remember things that happened to them and relate back when you force them to behave the way you would like. If it is important to you, then a dog would be a better pet. Cats are very independent creatures. I once had a cat who was totally wild and terrified of humans when I got her. I started out by going behind the couch and just sitting near her, letting her get used to seeing me, without me touching her, and I would talk softly to her as I did this. Then I progressed to laying my hand on the floor and putting it nearer to her each time she would get used to it enough to relax. Eventually I worked up to touching her once, then more and more over time. It took me two and a half months before she was climbing in my lap and purring like I was her best friend. You may not have as much time to work with your cat as I had, but if you do, this method worked for me. One thing that also may help is offering him food and/or catnip. If he learns to associate you with the food or the pleasure of catnip, he may learn to think of you as a person he wants to be around. Try to avoid making loud noises around him or sudden movements, especially while trying to get him used to you.
