Pawing right along…
Did you know that the oldest tiger
known to mankind was found in China?
Now, isn’t that special. Those
Chinese are one of the main reasons why they’re disappearing and conveniently
enough humans say a tiger originated from there. Go figure and meow on
that. How did these clever humans come
up with this idea? Well, they found some skull in China that’s over two million
years old.
Meee-ow just think about that for a
second. A tiger is millions of years old
and today these gun-happy humans can’t wait until they’re all gone. The way humans think about stuff just blows
this cat’s mind. What? You don’t believe
that? Well, think about this they found tiger
fossils in a place called Java over a million years old and from that you can
guess that kind of evolved into what humans call the Javan Tiger and guess
what? They’re not around anymore either!
In the deep history of the tiger there
is something interesting that came out.
Did you know they were on Japan, Borneo and on one of the Philippines’
islands? That fact alone was meowy
interesting in my book. Anyway the
overall range of the tiger started growing and 10 modern subspecies
formed. It’s documented that all made it
to the 20th century and three are now extinct. But I’m sure all of you humans know this,
everyone knows it. The dog next door
even woofs about it. So the next big
question is where do we start? What is the history of each paw-ticular tiger?
Meee-hmmmm….
To tiger or not to tiger…
Wait a meow-minute, I know what you
humans are thinking. Why no more detail
about old, old, old tigers? Well, are
you really going to listen? I don’t know
about some of you humans but when I hear about dinosaur stuff time I go to
sleep. This could be one of those things
that you stick with what you know. So,
what do you know…
About the Bali Tiger?
On this end, my whiskers really don’t
know twitch that much with the knowledge of them. I think the island where they’re from is actually
kind of small. It’s really doubtful that
they’re actually around today. It
actually hasn’t been seen in the wild for almost 100 years but you do hear
those stories….
Could this tiger be around today?
It doesn’t look good but every so
often you get a human yelling, ‘HEY THERE’S A TIGER OUT THERE!!’ It seems like
you don’t hear that too much here. It
could be bepaws, like I meowed, the island is kind of small. It’s meowy sad that the island didn’t stay
big. Ap-pawently Bali split during a
time that humans call the ‘Ice Age.’
And I don’t know about the ‘Ice Age.’
Remember I’m only a kitty and this is to be continued….
