Intro: Hey my name is Greg Ramirez and I will be talking to you about the Bengal tiger which is mostly called the tiger. The tiger eats meat and the tiger can eat about 88 lbs in each meal (Indian Tiger).
ED: Tigers live in mostly in southern Asia. They live in Tropical jungles, brush, marsh land and tall grassland. The climate is very hot. To cool down tigers go into the little shade there is.
SD: Tigers are about 3 meters long ( Indian tiger). They have adapted to the the environment by their color of fur. It helps them to blend in with the ground( sea world). The tigers also adapted to sound, tigers sound its good that they have infrasound hearing (sea world).which helps them to ear their prey. Tigers aslo have very strong jaw. This helps tiger to eat very big animals and very meaty aniamls. Tigers eats pigs, deer, antelopes and buffalo. Tigers can also swim. Tigers have adapted to water to get extra food. (
Value/impact to ecosystem: Tigers is an endangered and also a keystone species. There is about 3000 tigers left (Indian tiger). Tigers are killed because many people think that tigers medical value (Indian tiger). Tigers is also a keystone species because which the tiger the other animals wouldn’t have food ( Indian tiger). Tigers are on the to of the food chain, the kills his/her prey and after they get full, the tiger leaves and other animals get a chance to eat.
Human impact on species: humans has had a huge impact on the tiger population. Humans have killed many of the tiger populations. Now the tigers are now endangered because of poaching. There are only 3000 tigers alive today.
Conclusion: Something that is talking place are national parks. National parks help tigers by giving them protection. This animal is very important for everyone because tigers keep an equal balanced in their ecosystem.
