 The tiger (Panthera Tigris) is the largest cat species, most
recognisable for their pattern of dark vertical stripes on reddishorange fur with a lighter underside. The largest tigers have
reached a total body length of up to 3.38 m (11.1 ft) over curves
and have weighed up to 388.7 kg (857 lb) in the wild. The species
is classified in the genus Panthera with the lion, leopard, jaguar
and snow leopard. Tigers are apex predators, primarily preying on
ungulates such as deer and bovids. They are territorial and
generally solitary but social animals, often requiring large
contiguous areas of habitat that support their prey requirements.
This, coupled with the fact that they are indigenous to some of
the more densely populated places on Earth, has caused
significant conflicts with humans.

Medicinal Trade
China's Growing Demand
Weak Law Enforcement
Poaching and Habitat Loss
Impact of Catastrophes
The tiger is an iconic species, and tiger
conservation is involved in attempts to prevent
the animal from becoming extinct and preserving
its natural habitat. In Gujrat only 5 tigers were
left and now there are up to 500.This is one of the
main objectives of international animal
conservation charities. The Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species of
Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) has played a
crucial role in improving international efforts for
tiger conservation.

 The red panda, also called lesser panda, red bear-
cat, and red cat-bear, is a mammal native to the
eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. It has
reddish-brown fur, a long, shaggy tail, and a
waddling gait due to its shorter front legs, and is
slightly larger than a domestic cat. It is arboreal,
feeds mainly on bamboo, but also eats eggs, birds,
and insects. It is a solitary animal, mainly active
from dusk to dawn, and is largely sedentary during
the day
 The red panda is listed in CITES Appendix I.The
species has been classified as endangered in the IUCN
Red List since 2008 because the global population is
estimated at about 10,000 individuals, with a
decreasing population trend; only about half of the
total area of potential habitat of 142,000 km2
(55,000 sq mi) is actually being used by the species.
Due to their shy and secretive nature, and their
largely nocturnal habits, observation of red pandas is
difficult. Therefore, population figures in the wild are
determined by population density estimates and not
direct counts.
