Q.1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the given question:-
Tiger is typically sighted as the most fearsome predator which is admired for its flexible
muscles, courage and beauty. The tiger's body serves as a hundred of different uses such as
the fat is believed to be the tonic of rheumatism and the flesh offers a considerable strength
to those who eat.
Tigers have forelimbs and broad shoulders with the help of which tigers grapple with their
prey while holding onto it with the long claws of the broad forepaws. The color of the coat
varies, depending entirely on their habitat. These big cats also display prominent black
stripes that run across their bodies. No tiger has stripes that resemble it other counterparts,
each one has its own unique stripes. The black stripes of tigers serve as a natural
camouflage by hiding them amongst the shadows and the long grasses of their
surroundings.
There was a time when tigers could be found all along Asia ranging from eastern Turkey,
Caspian Sea, including south of the Tibetan plateau and the Sea of Okhotsk. Sadly speaking,
the tiger's range has been limited to a few major habitats. Currently, tigers have become
extinct in Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey and the Indus Valley of Pakistan. They were once
widespread throughout India including the foothills of the Himalayas, through Bhutan,
Nepal, Sikkim, Myanmar, and Assam, and the population has dramatically reduced in the
Indian subcontinent. Unfortunately, the extreme hunting together with poaching has made
tigers an endangered species.
It is sad to think of the extinction of an animal species due to the unstoppable forces of
nature, But, it is infinitely more depressing when the extinction is caused by supposedly
responsible human beings.
