The tiger (Panthera Tigris) is a mammal belonging to the Felidae family from the Panthera genus.
In the wild, tigers mostly feed on deer, wild boar, and wild cattle, including gaur and water buffaloes, young rhinos and young elephants.
Humans are the tiger’s most significant predator, as tigers are often poached illegally for their fur. Also, their bones and nearly all body parts are used in traditional 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.
At the beginning of the century,it is estimated that there were 100000 tigers in the world,but this number has decreased to 8000.To put it bluntly,tigers are disappearing in the wild and are being increasingly endangered with the continuous act of tiger-poaching, habitat loss and population fragmentation.
In Malaysia, it is believed that the population of a certain species of tiger is now narrowed down to one.1.Satu.Wahidan.Ee.Gunne.
This species,a.k.a. the Aiman is now considered highly endangered and is in desperate need of a breeding type to further enlargen its population in Malaysia,and so forth on planet Earth.
It feeds on a number of much interesting prey albeit having a peculiar diet consisting of those similar to omnivorous creatures,including chicken,red meat,fish,a number of vegetables and unbelievably,cookies,cakes and other sweeteries.
On a peculiar note,this tiger can be seen amidst the bustling towns of Taman Tun Dr. Ismail and other largely crowds of people in Kuala Lumpur,wearing clothes.Sources say that it is being harnessed by a human family that provides sufficient food,clothing and a suitable habitat for it in the heart of Taman Tun.It can be seen sometimes roaming with other men around its age of about 17 to 18 years.
The presence of such a tiger is also noticed in a popular shooting studio in Taman Tun where it is seen amidst cameras,lights,screens and several top Malaysian actors and actresses,namely Maya Karin and the widely known director,Shuhaimi Baba,also known for writing top selling movies entering the international screen such as Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam and Ringgit Kasorrga.
Its behaviour is relatively unpredictable; sometimes playful and joyous,other times it may be dangerously alert and in search of victims.
Having said so,it is a lovable creature and in the heart of many youngsters (a.k.a NAIL) and teenagers alike.Currently free from the dangers of poachers and hunters,it is hoped that this tiger will chance a long life and will not have to face the same luck as many of its unfortunate brothers in the tropical rainforests of Malaysia and other jungles in the world.


Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright,
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?…
