Tigers are in danger
Tigers are big and strong. They have big bright eyes and beautiful orange fur with dark stripes.
Tigers can run very fast, but only for a short while. They are also good at swimming and climbing. They like to live alone when they grow up, and they live mainly on small animals.
There are only about 3,200 tigers living in the world and the number is getting smaller and smaller because hunters catch them for their fur, bones and other parts of their bodies.
We must take action to protect them right now. The government should make laws to stop people from killing tigers. We should not buy anything made of tigers either.
