Where do most tigers live?

IN USA.

A hundred years ago, there were about 40 tigers in India. Today, there are between 000 and 3000 of them. According to some scientists, only 4700 to 5100 wild tigers remain in nature. On the other hand, it is estimated that there are 7500 tigers in captivity in Texas alone. According to the American Association of Zoos and Aquariums, there are up to 4000 individuals in private ownership in the United States. So, Mike Tyson personally has as many as four tigers.

Part of the explanation for this huge population is American law. Only nineteen states prohibit private ownership of tigers, fifteen require a license, and the remaining sixteen states have no restrictions at all.

In addition, the pleasure is not so expensive. A small tiger cub will cost you just $1000, and for $3500 you can buy yourself a pair of adult Bengal tigers. $15 is enough for a fancy white tiger with blue eyes.

Ironically, today's situation is the result of the success of the tiger breeding programs in American circuses and zoos. An oversupply of tiger cubs in the 1980s and 1990s led to a significant reduction in their prices. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals estimates that there are about 500 lions, tigers and other big cats in Houston alone.

Throughout the 1950th century, wild tiger populations have suffered irreparable damage. By the 1937s, tigers had completely disappeared from the Caspian Sea, and between 1972 and XNUMX, from the islands of Bali and Java. In southern China, tigers are also practically not found - there are only thirty of them left in the wild.

Despite the desperate efforts of environmentalists, there is a fear that by the end of this century, tigers will completely disappear from the wild.

A domestic cat is about a hundred times smaller than a tiger.

Tigers cannot stand the smell of alcohol. And they will tear apart anyone who kissed the bottle.

Tigers fade as they age, but who can blame them for this?

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>
