How does a tiger protect himself from enemies?

The Bengal Tiger is very large and powerful and rarely needs to defend itself against anything other than humans, which have guns making self defence futile on the Tigers part. (In other situations the Tigers powerful jaws and sharp teeth make it a force to be reckoned with, not to mention it razor sharp claws attached to paws powerful enough to kill a man with a swift blow to the head.) If all of this somehow failed to defend the Tiger then it could try to evade harm by using its speed to run or agility to climb a tree to get out of harms way.

How many types of tigers are there in africa?

There are no types of tigers native to Africa, although there are some that are kept in zoos. All tiger subspecies are native to Asia. In the past, they ranged from the Caucasas Mountains to India, Southeast Asia, Sumatra, Java, China, and Russia, but today the range of tigers has been greatly diminished, and only exists in small, scattered pockets of India, Southeast Asia, Sumatra, and one place in Eastern Russia/Northeastern China.

Additionally, the South China Tiger is the most endangered subspecies of tiger. A program called Save China's Tigers is working to take captive South China tigers and rewild them; that is, teach them how to survive in the wild. It is doing so by slowly introducing them to a fenced off reserve in South Africa created from overgrazed sheep farms specifically for this purpose. The program has been quite successful at breeding these tigers and training them how to live in the wild. In fact, 15 of the fewer than 100 South China tigers alive today live at this wildlife reserve in South Africa.

When did the Malayan Tapir become endangered?

Malayan Tapirs live in the areas of Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, and Sumatra. They usually stay near streams and swamps of the rainforest. This species of tapirs has a black and white body. They are the closest relatives of the horses, and rhinoceroses. Malayan Tapirs have a snout that looks like a short elephant trunk. The trunk is used to smell and push food into the mouth. They are really shy. When they sense danger, the tapir quickly run away to find safety. The tapirs usually live alone or in pair. Measuring from ground up to shoulder, the tapirs are about 34 - 42 inches (86.4 - 108.7cm) tall. They weigh between 550 - 660 pounds (249.5 - 299.4kg). The average life span is 30 years. Females can produce every 18 months an infant. The average gestation period is between 390 - 395 days. Since they live in the forest and around streams, the Malayan Tapirs eat grass, aquatic vegetation, leaves, buds, and twigs. They also like fruits of low standing shrubs. Now the Malayan Tapirs are endangered because of the loss of habitat. People cut down forests for timber and agricultural use. Thus the tapirs have no place to hide when poachers pursuit them. The local people also hunt them down for leather and meat. Fortunately, government of Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia passed laws to ban people from hurting these creatures. The only thing now is to enforce these laws.
yes

Why do poachers kill rhinos?

Of course should save the Rhino! a world without Rhinos is no world I wish to live in. Look at the change the world went through after the DoDo bird became extinct, more wars and disease and famine. Much not traceable to the extinction mostly inferred and formulated for this single question. Rhinos they are a unique and treasured animal they also are the only animal with a horn like that on their face so losing them completely is not a good thing, we would be forced to only see them in pictures and old wild life specials and what fun is that I ask you?

Why do mammals care for their young?

Most animals do not care for their young, and simply produce as many offspring as possible so that there is a higher chance at least some of them will survive. Mammals and birds are unique because rather than producing a ton of offspring, they invest time and energy into protecting and rearing their offspring so that each individual has a higher chance of survival. One of the ways they do this is by keeping their offspring inside their body for longer periods of time so they are able to be protected and grow more mature before being let into the world. This provides a unique survival advantage to mammals and has allowed them to become very successful.

Do tigers have lungs?

They can, especially if they have lived their entire lives in a home with a heavy smoker. In sufficient quantities, over long periods of time, a cat's health can be affected by second-hand smoke. Try not to smoke in your home if you have cats or dogs.

Personally, I smoke, and I have tried many times to stop smoking in my home, but I just can't do it (especially in the winter). So I keep my windows open at all times, except in the dead of winter when it's just way too cold for that. But even in the dead of winter, I still open all the windows for 30 to 60 minutes, a couple times a day.

If you can't stop smoking in your home, then make your home as well-ventilated as possible. In addition to opening the windows and airing the place out, you can also get air filters for your home. Some air conditioning units also have an exhaust setting, which sucks the air from inside your home and blows it outside.
