In China, tigers became the target of large-scale 'anti-pest' campaigns in the early 1950s, where suitable habitats were fragmented following deforestation and resettlement of people to rural areas, who hunted tigers and prey species. Though tiger hunting was prohibited in 1977, the population continued to decline and is considered extinct in southern China since 2001. [156] [157] Having earlier rejected the Western-led environmentalist movement, China changed its stance in the 1980s and became a party to the CITES treaty. By 1993 it had banned the trade in tiger parts, and this diminished the use of tiger bones in traditional Chinese medicine. [158] The Tibetan people's trade in tiger skins has also been a threat to tigers. The pelts were used in clothing, tiger-skin chuba being worn as fashion. In 2006 the 14th Dalai Lama was persuaded to take up the issue. Since then there has been a change of attitude, with some Tibetans publicly burning their chubas. [159]Tiger's Tail". Cultural China.

In 2007, over 4,000 captive tigers lived in China, of which 3,000 were held by about 20 larger facilities, with the rest held by some 200 smaller facilities. [188] In 2011, 468 facilities in the USA kept 2,884 tigers. [189] Nineteen US states banned private ownership of tigers, fifteen require a license, and sixteen states have no regulation. [190] Genetic ancestry of 105 captive tigers from fourteen countries and regions showed that forty-nine animals belonged distinctly to five subspecies; fifty-two animals had mixed subspecies origins. [191] Many Siberian tigers in zoos today are actually the result of crosses with Bengal tigers. [192] Cultural depictions

The North Sea contains a variety of sharks, but two in particular stand out for their potential to cause harm: the Great White Shark and the Bull Shark. Hermann Kulke, K KesavapWhen not subject to human disturbance, the tiger is mainly diurnal. [85] It does not often climb trees but cases have been recorded. [51] It is a strong swimmer and often bathes in ponds, lakes and rivers, thus keeping cool in the heat of the day. [86] Individuals can cross rivers up to 7km (4.3mi) wide and can swim up to 29km (18mi) in a day. [87] During the 1980s, a tiger was observed frequently hunting prey through deep lake water in Ranthambhore National Park. [85]
