Adopt a Tiger
Care for the Wild tiger adoption program - the perfect gift for just £29.95
The Tiger. The very embodiment of power, agility and strength. The largest of the big cats, is internationally recognised as an endangered species. This means, that if present trends continue, the Tiger will become extinct in the wild. This fate has already befallen three of the eight subspecies; the Bali Tiger, Javan Tiger and Caspian Tiger.
Today, there are between 4600 - 7700 Tigers remaining in the wild in Asia. At the beginning of the century 40,000 were estimated to be roaming the jungles of the Indian subcontinent. Man is responsible for the dwindling Tiger population, through hunting and through the depletion of the natural wilderness where these beautiful creatures live. Time is running out, and we could see the demise of the Tiger altogether within a decade or two.
Through adopting a Tiger you are helping to support the massive international effort required to save this stunning animal from extinction.

Here is the story of Jasper the Tiger
Jasper was born in October 1998. He is an Indo-Chinese tiger and he weighed just 3kg when he was confiscated from smugglers in Cambodia.
When first rescued Jasper already had signs of calcium and vitamin D deficiency, which results in poor bone development and the bowing of the legs. But with medical attention and dedicated care he is now very fit and healthy. He lives in a large natural habitat enclosure near Phnom Penh.

Tigers are awesome animals. They're so big, but yet walk so quietly. Their patterns makes them invisible amist the shadows of the forest. The toughest animal in my book. Though badgers are tuff to and elephants are dominate creatures.
I once read that felines have the highest muscle to bone ratio of any of the mammals - making them the strongest and best formed hunters. That makes tigers and lions, which are the largest pretty impressive animals. In the next fifty years though, I imagine tigers will only exist in zoos.
I love tigers because they are the biggest cats on the planet. Their beauty is breath taking, and I revel in it every time I see one, (On TV, of course) and it also breaks my heart that we may not have these wonderful creatures around for long. We may keep them alive, but just in zoos, and that is so sad. It is on my wish list, kind of a thing to do before I go list, to touch a tiger.
Adopt a tiger now people, whilst we still can!
