Oh ~ World Tiger Love Day, come to these national parks to pick up the fierce beasts!
One knowledge that is not cold: tigers and cats both belong to the feline family. This ferocious big cat is at risk of endangerment – over the past century, the global wild tiger habitat has shrunk to 20%; Over the past 70 years, the Balinese, Javanese and Caspian tigers of the 9 subspecies of wild tigers have become extinct.
The 2010 Tiger Conservation International Forum established 29 July as Global Tiger Day, also known as World Tiger Day, to call attention to and protect tigers around the world. This year's World Tiger Love Day, go with the LP to the 7 national parks around the world that have the opportunity to see wild tigers, and see these friends

Tigers are the world's largest cats and play an important role in maintaining healthy ecosystems, but are also one of the most endangered species. According to WWF, there are only 3,890 tigers left in the wild, distributed in 13 tiger sanctuaries in 11 countries.

Tigers are generally divided into two main groups, the Continental Tiger and the Sunda Tiger. All remaining Sunda tigers are found only on the island of Sumatra, and tigers from Java and Bali are extinct. Continental tigers currently include populations of Bengal, Malaya, Indochinese and Siberian (Siberian tigers), while Caspian tigers have been extinct in the wild. The South China tiger is thought to be functionally extinct.
Sumatian Tiger
Sumatran Tiger
The last Sumatran tigers — estimated to be fewer than 400 today — are surviving in the few remaining forests on sumatran. Accelerated deforestation and rampant poaching mean this noble creature could eventually become extinct like its counterparts in Java and Bali. ——From the official website of the World Wide Fund for Nature (http://www.worldwildlife.org)

Due to the wide variation in elevation within the park, gringham's flora and fauna are unique. Botanists and bird watchers from all over the world come here to see rare flora and fauna such as the Javan Edelweiss, the Shih's Eight-Colored Partridge and the Crested Partridge. In the lower forests of the lower elevations there are pitchers, squirrels, geckos and long-tailed macaques, as well as herds of black-ridged langurs.
Mengara Tiger
Bengal Tiger
The Bengal tiger is the most abundant of the surviving tiger subspecies, mainly in India, with a few in Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan, and may also be present in some parts of China and Myanmar. ——Excerpt from http://www.tigers-world.com
Sunderbans Tiger Reserve
India/Bangladesh

One of the largest Bengal tiger habitats on the planet, this 2,585-square-kilometer reserve is crisscrossed by water systems and semi-submerged mangroves that together make up the world's largest estuarine delta. Tigers (nearly 300 according to official estimates) lurk deep in the off-the-beaten-track mangroves and swim in the delta's countless waterways. Although it does sometimes hurt villagers and livestock, tigers here are usually shy and hard to find.

Still, paddling and wildlife on the rivers of the world's largest mangrove reserve (now a UNESCO World Heritage Site), whether it's spotted deer, two-meter-long swamp lizards or fluorescent kingfishers, will take you out of the hustle and bustle of Kolkata and feel the world of tranquility.

Corbett's most famous wild inhabitants are the Bengal tiger and the Asian elephant. The current area of the reserve is 1318.54 square kilometers, and its main purpose is to protect Bengal tigers. There are many endangered species in the reserve, including 50 species of mammals, 549 species of birds and 26 species of reptiles.
Tips for entering the park
The Bijarani district is open from mid-October every year, and the dhikala district, the core area of the national park, is open from November 15. The main reason bijarani and Dhikala districts closed for the rest of the year was that most of the roads were washed away during the monsoon. Repairs began after the end of the rainy season, and it was only from October to November that the roads leading to Bijarani and Dhikala returned to drivable condition.
Malaya Tiger
Malayan Tiger
The Malayan tiger is the latest confirmed subspecies, mainly found in the southern and central parts of the Malay Peninsula, as well as at the southern tip of Thailand. Tropical and subtropical forests make up their habitat. ——Excerpt from http://www.tigers-world.com
Taman Negara National Park
Malaysia

Covering an area of 4,343 square kilometres (from Pahang to Kelantan and Terengganu), Taman Nagara National Park is set in a dark, damp and unfathomable jungle. In this dense forest of intertwined roots, ancient trees with huge roots make the surrounding glowing fungi, orchids, bicolor ferns and even the huge king flower (the largest flower in the world) look so short.

Elephants, Malayan tigers, leopards and rhinos, as well as small magical species such as flying squirrels lurk in the flora, unfortunately these animals are far from the park's trails, so they are very difficult to see. Even if they are really close to you, it is difficult to see them through the dense forest.

Most of the animals you may see are snakes (canine forest snakes, reticulated pythons, Walsh pit vipers and red-headed ring snakes), lizards, monkeys, fawns, many birds and tapirs. Almost every visitor to Tamanagara National Park encounters ants, a variety of flying insects and reptiles.

The longer you spend in Tamanaegara National Park, the more you will be able to appreciate the mysteries. There's no problem in rushing around, but it's just a dragonfly. Consider arranging an overnight hike or a long boat trip to one of the park's inland rivers. Permits are required for either an afternoon walking tour or a multi-day trek, which can be purchased from the tourist information counter.
Insect prevention tips
The park is full of ants (rare in the village of Kuala Dahan). Wearing proper boots and leggings or covering your pants with stockings and spraying deet (DEET) will make your hike more enjoyable.
Indochinese Tiger
Indochinese Tiger
Indochinese tigers are mainly found in southwestern China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia, and live alone for most of their lives. Due to poaching, habitat loss and other factors, the population of indochinating tigers continues to decline and is in danger of extinction. ——Excerpt from http://www.tigers-world.com

Khao Yai National Park is the oldest and most visited national park in Thailand, covering an area of 2,168 square kilometers. Home to the largest rainforest on the Asian continent, the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex has been inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Khao Yai National Park, despite its vast size, is one of the best national parks in Thailand to visit on your own.

There are 5 hiking trails in the park for visitors to cross the forest alone, and the rest of the forest hiking trails require a guide. You can go to the visitor center and ask a park ranger to act as a guide. Wherever you want to go, you have to wear boots and trousers. Leeches are a nuisance during the rainy season, and mosquito repellents can help you get rid of them, but wearing anti-leech socks sold at the visitor center works better.

If you love wildlife viewing, there are about 200 Asian elephants near the park's border, as well as other mammals such as Indochinese tigers, leopards, bears, Indian bison, red chamois, otters, various gibbons, macaques, and some rather large pythons. There is also the largest colony of hornbills in Thailand, with as many as 392 species of birds inhabiting Khao Yai, including the two-horned hornbills (nókgòk or nókgah·hang).
East North Tiger
Siberian Tiger
The Siberian tiger, also known as the Siberian tiger, is the largest tiger subspecies. It used to be widespread, but now it's drastically reduced. ——Excerpt from http://www.tigers-world.com

Siberian Tiger and Leopard National Park is at the heart of Asia's temperate coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest ecosystem, and the natural landscape in the area is magnificent and beautiful. Laoye Ridge peaks compete in the show, Lin Hai is full of water. Tall red pine stands in the forest sea, and the thousand-year-old northeast yew tree hides in the forest.

The vast forest sea here has also become a paradise for birds to survive and reproduce. Every spring, a variety of forest birds such as buntings, birds and plovers begin to return from the south to prepare for the breeding of the year.
