Saving the Big Cats

By Duncan Gelby

Many may wonder what the habitat of a tiger is like. Tigers can live in many different climates. However, they usually are hidden deep in the jungles of India. Their world is filled foliage that helps with shelter from oppressive heat. Tigers also have a thirst that is hard to quench, but the lush jungles offer a good supply of water to keep a tiger hydrated. The habitat also offers food and a great area to stalk that prey. The habitat of the tiger is often being taken away by humans who are looking to invade and take the land for themselves. Since India is one of the world's largest populated areas, the tiger's habitat is more and more in danger everyday.

Since the tigers are endangered, conservation of these big cats is essential to keeping them on the planet. One of the main reasons that tigers are hunted by people is for their fur. They are also losing their habitat and this is causing their numbers to decrease rapidly. However, the humans of the world are becoming more and more aware of the tiger and their world. Keeping them safe has become a huge agenda for many people.

Countries such as India and the United States began to pass laws that would help to keep the tigers of the world alive and in good health. India's laws restrict the hunting of tigers, and the United States has laws that prohibit the sale of items that are made with tiger body parts including fur rugs and blankets. With only 2,500 tigers alive in the known world today, conservation at every level is critical to their survival.

But what if you want to own a piece of a tiger? Since it is against the law in the states, you can find other items that will help quench the thirst of one who loves tigers and anything that depicts a tiger. You can find all kinds of items from necklaces to wallpaper that have tigers on it. However, one of the best ways to snuggle with a big cat is by purchasing a tiger blanket.
