Question

Which number is closest to the estimation of the wild tiger population in 2003?

Answer 1

Explanation:

This makes China home to the second largest captive tiger population in the world, after the U.S., which in 2005 had an estimated 4,692 captive tigers. In a census conducted by the U.S.-based Feline Conservation Federation, 2,884 tigers were documented as residing in 468 American facilities.

Answer 2

Answer:

3000 is the number closest to the estimation of the wild tiger population in 2003

Explanation:

• Tigers are quickly becoming extinct in the wild.
• Only approximately 3,200 tigers remain in the wild worldwide, according to the most recent estimates.
• Compared to the 100,000 tigers that were thought to be living in the wild in 1990, that is a cataclysmically rapid fall.
• The large cat, which is native to southern and eastern Asia, may soon go extinct, according to WWF scientists, unless immediate action is made to stop hunting and habitat destruction.
• If tigers vanish (at least from the wild), we will lose a top predator that is crucial to many ecosystems, and enough habitat will have been lost to put many other species in peril as well.
• In many Asian nations, the condition of the tiger population serves as a measure of ecological health.

Hence, the closest estimation of a wild tiger in 2003 is 3000.
