Analysis:
South China tiger is the most endangered of all kinds of tigers. Living in south-central China, it is estimated that there are only 20-30 wild South China tigers in the world, and there may not even be this number now. There are still 47 South China tigers living in 18 Zoo in China. South China tiger is one of the smallest subspecies of tiger. The male tiger is estimated to have a head and tail length of 2.5 meters and a weight of nearly 150 kg. The tigress is small, estimated to be 2.3 meters long and weighs nearly 1 10 kg. The stripes on their fur are short and narrow, and the spacing between stripes is larger than that of Bengal tigers and Northeast tigers.

South China Tiger, one of the smallest tiger subspecies, is endemic to China and lives in south-central China. The male tiger is about 2.5 meters long and weighs nearly 150 kg. The tigress is small, about 2.3 meters long and weighs about 1 100 kg. The fur stripes are short and narrow, and the stripe spacing is larger than that of Bengal tiger and Northeast tiger. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were about 4,000 South China tigers in China, but at that time, the habitat of South China tigers was shrinking day by day, and conflicts between humans and tigers occurred from time to time, so they were designated as pests by * * * at that time. Immediately, South China tigers were killed in large numbers, and various titles like "tiger experts" flew all over the sky. Today, there are less than 30 poor South China tigers in the wild. Although * * * has banned tiger hunting today, and various related measures have been introduced one after another, I am afraid it is difficult to save the tragic fate of the extinction of the South China tiger. This is not only the sorrow of the South China tiger, but also the sorrow of mankind.
According to reports, it is possible to maintain the population of South China tigers at least 100, but there are only about 30 wild South China tigers at present, and only 5 1 tiger is kept in zoos across the country (this figure may not be reached at present). Only according to the existing survival number, this species can barely last for twenty or thirty years at best.
South China tiger was listed as one of the top ten endangered species by IUCN in 1996.

South China tiger
Carnivora, Carnivora, Felidae
Identification characteristics: large size, body length 1.6 ~ 2.9 meters, weight 180 ~ 200 kg. The head is round, the ears are short, the limbs are stout and powerful, the tail is long, the whole body is orange and yellow, and it is covered with black stripes.
According to the investigation and textual research of Chinese and foreign scholars, tigers once lived in the mountainous areas of Nanjing and Yixing in Jiangsu Province, but they may have disappeared in the first half of the 20th century. Tigers are endemic to Asia. In the long process of evolution, tigers have differentiated into eight subspecies. /kloc-More than 0/00 years ago, the tiger, known as the "King of Animals", traveled all over the Korean Peninsula and the Far East in the east, Turkey and the Caspian Sea in the west, Siberia in the north and Java and Bali in Indonesia in the south. According to the latest statistics of the World Fund, three of the eight tiger subspecies have been absolutely extinct, while the South China Tiger, which is native to the southern province of China, has never released any news about its activities in nature since it was reported in Jiangxi Province 1980 and Zhejiang Province 198 1 respectively. Maybe this is the remaining wild South China tiger. In 1980s, the Species Survival Committee of IUCN designated the South China Tiger as an endangered animal and listed it as one of the top ten endangered animals in the world. At present, there are 53 South China tigers in China 19 zoos. Therefore, when wild individuals are on the verge of extinction, these South China tigers under artificial breeding conditions have become priceless treasures, which need to be protected, rescued and multiplied urgently. 1988, China listed the South China Tiger as a national key protected animal.
It is commendable that Suzhou Zoo has made achievements in protecting and establishing the breeding population of South China tigers. During the ten years from 1988 to 1998, they miraculously set four world records for the breeding of South China tigers: (1) 1 breeding tigers named Lingling and Iowa kept giving birth every year, and * * * bred 4 1 animal, with a survival rate of 28. (2) 1992, the female tiger Lingling successfully produced two fetuses a year, giving birth to nine. (3) The sterilization age of the South China tiger is usually 14 years old, but the female tiger born in the park is over 15 years old, which can be called "hero tiger mother" and "hero tiger father"; (4) There are South China tigers 18 in the park (1999), accounting for 35.2% of the total number of South China tigers in the world. It is the largest and most dynamic zoo that breeds South China tigers in the world. Suzhou established the "South China Tiger Breeding Research Center" in Lidao 1999, the wind shadow area of Shihu Lake, to further improve and implement the breeding of South China tigers.
The World Wildlife Fund decided to designate 65438+1October 28th as the International Tiger Protection Campaign Day to arouse people's awareness of protecting tigers and let more people join in protecting tigers. People firmly believe that as long as the breeding work is carried out persistently on the basis of protection, one day the South China Tiger will become a unique and precious animal that can completely get rid of disasters like the Chinese alligator. I hope that in the near future, in the mountains of the motherland and zoos all over the country, you can hear the mighty roar of the South China Tiger, find more tiger footprints and witness its majestic posture!
