The Balinese tiger is the smallest of the modern tigers, less than 1/3 of the size of other tigers in the north, with a body length of about 2.1 meters and a weight of about 90 kilograms, living in the tropical rainforests of northern Bali, Indonesia. With abundant water and food, it has become a natural reserve for Balinese tigers.
The colorful Balinese tiger is a supernatural presence for Indonesians, even appearing on traditional artistic masks. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, tigers were hunted everywhere in their habitats, and as the population of Bali increased, humans invaded the living space of Bali tigers, and the threat of Balinese tigers to humans was further intensified, and many people became victims of Bali tigers.
As European colonists invaded Bali, they ruthlessly hunted Balinese tigers, a misdeed that spread to the local Indonesians. Because tiger skins can be sold at a good price in the market, people began to hunt Balinese tigers with impunity. The Balinese tiger is not only attractive in fur, but its bones are also very popular in places like Taiwan, and are often used as brewing wine and medicine. In the face of people's desires, even the most powerful tigers are not opponents of humans, and there are not many Balinese tigers left.
There were originally 8 species of tigers on Earth, but now only 5 are left, and it is worrying whether those wild tigers will survive until the mid-21st century. The last Balinese tiger was recorded to have been shot by greedy hunters in the forests of western Bali on September 27, 1937.
Without buying and selling, there is no killing!
