There are more Tigers Are Kept As Pets Than Live In The Wild.

This is another sad and incredibly frustrating reality about the world we live in today. Just as a cage is no place for a tiger to live—unless it’s at a sanctuary or an accredited zoo that truly cares about the well-being of animals, a person’s home or backyard is no place for a tiger to live.
However, tigers as pets are a serious problem due to lax laws and loopholes, and people out there are determined to keep big cats as pets—which often does not pan out well for both the person and the tiger. Because of this problem, more tigers are being bred in captivity than those born in the wild, where they truly belong.

Northwest African Cheetah 🐆🧡

also known as the Saharan cheetah, lives in Africa’s Sahel and Sahara desert region. The population of the species was estimated to be fewer than 250 individuals in 2008. Hunting of the cheetahs and their prey species as well as the construction of roads, habitat destruction, and retaliatory killings by people trying to protect their livestock have all contributed to the near extinction state of this cheetah subspecies.

Did you know? 😊🧡

Amongst the big cats, the lion is the only social animal. While other big cat species have a mostly solitary life in the wild, lions almost always live in groups, called prides, of up to 30 adults and their offspring.

Iriomote Cat🧡😊

A subspecies of the leopard cat is on the brink of extinction. The subspecies has been labeled as ‘Critically Endangered’ since 2008. As of 2007, only about 100 to 109 individuals of the Iriomote cat was estimated to live in the wild. The animal is found in Japan’s Iriomote island.

Iriomote cats are one of just four cats that are not able to retract their claws, others being the Fishing cat, the Flat-headed cat and the cheetah.

Iriomote cats hardly ever vocalize, but they do during the breeding season. When fighting, they can make low murmuring sounds like "bow-wow".

Asiatic Cheetah 🐆🥰

is a Critically Endangered subspecies of the cheetah that is found in Iran. 😔 In the past, it had a much wider range including large parts of the Near East and the Arabian Peninsula and even parts of the Indian subcontinent in South Asia. The current population of the Asiatic cheetah is estimated to be less than 50 individuals only. The overhunting of these cheetahs and their prey species is one of the biggest factors for their current dire state. Habitat fragmentation and degradation, mining activities, road constructions, and persecution by people also threaten the survival of this subspecies of the cheetah.

Did you know? ☺️

Lions with black manes are alpha males. A dark-maned lion’s testosterone levels are higher than the levels in other males, his cubs are more likely to survive, and he is more likely to recover from wounds.

Balkan Lynx 🐈‍⬛🧡😊

is one of the subspecies of the Eurasian lynx.

This Carnivoran is found in western Macedonia and eastern Albania and is regarded as Macedonia’s national symbol.

Unfortunately, however, this much-respected animal is on the path to extinction. 😔💔

In Macedonia, the Mavrovo National Park is home to about 35 to 40 members of this subspecies. Despite the steps taken to protect the Balkan lynx, the animal is still a victim of poaching and habitat destruction in both the countries of its occurrence❗️

Snow leopard can use their tails like a scarf 🥰☺️

Snow leopards have a long tail that provides balance and agility. They also wrap it around themselves when they rest for protection from the cold. 🥶💡

South China Tiger 🐯🧡

A critically endangered subspecies of tigers, is possibly extinct. ⚠️

It is found in southern China’s provinces. No wild member of this species has been recorded since the 1970’s. Several factors like the excessive hunting of the tiger and its prey species, habitat destruction and fragmentation, and other forms of anthropogenic pressures threaten the survival of the species in the future.❗️

According to some estimates, by the early 21st century there were no more than 30 South China tigers left in the wild. Although there are still some 70 of these tigers in zoos and special breeding bases around China, experts worry that they may eventually die out because of inbreeding under captivity. 😔
