The White Lion

Transcript of Endangered species

The White Lion

The White lion

The white lion lives in national parks.

It eats smaller animals.

The White lion

It looks like a big white cat.

The White lion

It has one to four babies.

• There aren’t many white lions today.• The dangers for these animals are:

- people kill them - they can’t find food

The White lion

The White lion

We mustn’t kill them.

People must make parks for white

lions to live in.

The Rhino

The Rhino

Rhinos live in Africa. They live in groups of about

12 animals.

The Rhino

Both black and white rhinos are grey. They are

not different in colour but in lip shape, based on

what they eat.

The Rhino

Black rhinos eat trees and bushes.

White rhinos eat grass.

The Rhino

Rhinos can hear and smell very well. They

can find one another by following their

smell.

The Rhino

Females have a baby rhino (calf) only every two

and a half to five years. Their calf lives with its

mother until it is about three years old.

The Rhino

White rhinos have two horns. Rhino horns can

grow up to 1.5 metres long. Females use their

horns to protect their young, while males use

them to attack their enemies.

The Rhino

Many rhinos are killed for their horn. It is used to make medicines in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The horn is also used as decoration in North Africa and the Middle East.

The Rhino

The main problem of the white rhino today is

poaching. Only about 11,000 white rhinos

survive in the wild, and many organisations are

working to protect this much loved animal.

The tiger

The Tiger

The tiger is the largest wild cat in the

world. Its skin is reddish-orange with dark

stripes.

The Tiger

Tigers weigh up to 363 kilos. They

are 2 metres long. Their tail is 1

metre long.

The Tiger

Tigers live in tropical forests as well as in

swamps. They are never found far from

water.

The Tiger

Tigers eat small animals such as turtles

and frogs, as well as large animals such

as buffalos and large deer.

The Tiger

Tigers live alone, except for mothers and

their young. A female tiger can have from

1 – 6 babies. She raises them on her own.

The Tiger

By the time tiger babies are one year old

they can hunt, but they usually stay with

their mothers until they are at least two

years old.

The Tiger

Tigers are killed for their fur.

The Tiger

The tiger’s habitat is becoming smaller

and smaller, because people use the land

for farming and they destroy the forests.

The Tiger

If we stop poaching and we protect the

forests, we will save the tigers.
