Panthera tigris sumatrae shares the forest with Asian tapirs - and this forest is disappearing fast. The island is the only place in the world where these tigers live in the wild, and there may be only 400 left. A purchase of this plush tiger can help the Tapir Preservation Fund save habitat that belongs to both the tapir and the tiger. This plush version measures 10 inches from his nose to his rump, and has a soft, velvety nose. An ear tag tells you more about him, the way he lives, and threats to his survival.
Tigers are the biggest cats in the world.
They live in steamy hot jungles as well as icy cold forests, across the Asian continent. Tigers are critically endangered species which means that extinction is a real possibility. At the beginning of this century it is estimated that there were 100,000 wild tigers living across Asia. Today the number is less than 7,000. Three tiger subspecies, the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers have become extinct in the past 70 years.
