The Pacifist
The tiger is a magnificent animal, and is the largest of the big cats. Tigers are found practically through out India, excerpt the desert region. They are found up to a height of 3050 metres in the Himalayas. The tiger ( Panther a Tigris) India's national animal on 1973, and they are highly endangered. the loss of forest habitat is the major factor contributing to the decline of these majestic beasts. 
Tigers were once considered to be harder to hunt than lions, due to their habit of living alone in dense cover and not noisily asserting their presence with roars as often Their hunting ares are turned into farms and villages. Their numbers have also been  reduced due to extensive poaching in many Asian countries for their valuable skins. Their body parts are used in Chinese medicine and exotic recipes.Tiger bones and nearly all body parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine for a range of purported uses, including pain killers.
 Tiger parts are used in traditional East Asian medicines, particularly in traditional Chinese medicine, where many people believe that tiger parts have multiple medicinal properties. When combined with the high prices that furs fetch on the black market and destruction of habitat, poaching for medicinal uses has greatly reduced tiger populations in the wild. There is also unrestricted killing for trophies. Some tigers are declared to be man-eaters or cattle lifters and killed. This has also led to the decline in its population to great extent. 
The Bengal tiger has been a national symbol of India since about the 25th century BCE when it was displayed on the Pashupati seal of the Indus Valley Civilisation. On the seal, the tiger, being the largest, represents the Yogi Shiva's people. The tiger was later the symbol of the Chola Empire from 300 CE to 1279 CE and is now designated as the official animal of India.In 1939, there were thought to be 30,000 tigers in India but today there are only around 1411 left! 


The White tiger is not a separate species. It is a normal tiger that has a special gene that gives it the characteristic white color. The White tigers fur is pale, and it has chocolates colored stripe and pale blue eyes. it is hard to find tigers in wild. Most of today's white tigers are found in captivity. Out of the few, one hundred are found in India.

    Great article!

    Just one minor adjustment:

    "Tigers were once considered to be harder to hunt than lions, due to their habit of living alone in dense cover and not noisily asserting their presence with roars as often Their hunting ares are turned into farms and villages."

    I think you forgot to put a period after "often" because it is a full sentence.

    Other than that the article is perfect.
