英文感想~濒临绝种的野生老虎~100字左右
专家警告野生老虎有可能12年内完全消失
今年是虎年,全球现时仅剩下三千多只野生老虎,专家警告野生老虎很有可能在下一个虎年会消失.来自十三个国家代表在俄罗斯开会,商讨如何拯救濒临绝种的野生老虎.
老虎雄霸森林,亚洲多处都有它的踪影,远至土耳其都会找到它们.但在上世纪七十年代,体型较小的里海虎,已经绝种,仅存的东北虎、华南虎、孟加拉虎、印支虎及苏门答腊虎,现在在野外亦很难发现它们的踪迹.
世界自然基金会估计,近一个世纪以来,全球野生老虎数目大减,由约十万只减至只剩下约三千二百只.若不积极保护,估计在十二年后,即下一个虎年,在野外就可能再发现不到老虎踪迹.
为了拯救濒临绝种的野生老虎,十三个仍然有老虎居住的国家,在俄罗斯圣彼得堡开会.俄罗斯总理普京及中国国务院总理温家宝都会出席.
世界自然基金会期望会议可以达成协议,阻止非法猎杀老虎,以及走私老虎皮和其他器官,并在十年内将老虎数目增加一倍.
论坛并会在俄罗斯与中国边境地区勾划出野生老虎保护区.
据科学家估计,保护老虎,每年所需资金约八千万美元.虽然已经获得世界银行支持,但目前每年仍缺三千万.会议的目标之一,亦是筹集更多捐款.

tiger(老虎)
Tigers (Latin:Panthera tigris, of Iranian origin: tighra) are mammals of the Felidae family and one of four "big cats" in the Panthera genus. They are predatory carnivores and the largest and most powerful of all living cat species. The Indian Subcontinent is home to more than 80% of the wild tigers in the world. Tigers breed well in captivity, and the captive population in the United States may rival the wild population of the world.
Most tigers live in forests and grasslands (for which their camouflage is ideally suited). Among the big cats, only the tiger and jaguar are strong swimmers; tigers are often found bathing in ponds, lakes, and rivers. Tigers hunt alone and eat primarily medium-sized herbivores such as deer, wild pigs, and buffalo. However, they will also take larger or smaller prey on occasion. Humans are the tiger's only serious predator and often kill tigers illegally for their fur or penises. Their bones and nearly all body parts are used in Chinese Medicine for a range of purported uses including pain killers and aphrodisiacs. Poaching for fur and destruction of habitat have greatly reduced tiger populations in the wild, and it has been placed on the endangered species list.
Different subspecies of tiger have somewhat different characteristics. In general, male tigers may weigh between 150 and 310 kilograms (330 lb and 680 lb) and females between 100 and 160 kg (220 lb and 350 lb). The males are between 2.6 and 3.3 metres (8'6" and 10'9") in length, and the females are between 2.3 and 2.75 metres (7'6" and 9') in length. Of the more common subspecies, Corbetts Tigers are the smallest and Amur Tigers the largest.
The ground of the coat may be any colour from yellow to orange/red, with white areas on the chest, neck, and the inside of the legs. A common recessive variant is the white tiger, which may occur with the correct combination of parents; they are not albinos. Black or melanistic tigers have been reported, but no live specimen has ever been recorded. Also in existence are golden tabby tigers (also called "golden tigers" or "tabby tigers") which have a golden hue, much lighter than the colouration of normal tigers, and stripes that are brown. This variation in colour is very rare, and only a handful of golden tabby tigers exist, all in captivity
