= __Endangered Species Project (the powerpoint is at the bottom of page)__ = 1__. My Endangered Species and its Environment__ - Organism- My endangered species is a Bengal Tiger. My species is a Bengal Tiger. The order is Carnivora, and the class is Mammalia. The family of the Bengal Tiger is felidae, and the genus species is panthera tigris tigris. For a male, the length of the tiger can be three meters, and 2.7 for a female. The weight can be up to 135 kilograms for a female and 225 kilograms for a male. It is also the largest existing member of the cat family. The coat color for this cat is reddish orange with narrow black, gray or brown stripes, and generally in a vertical direction. The underside is a creamy white with an icy blue. - Population-The population is estimated to be not more than 1500. In 1900 the population was 50,000, but by the year 1972, there were only about 1,800 left. - Community-The community is in the Sunderban Region and I have the animal in it on the food web link. - Ecosystem- It also is carnivore and it lives in grasslands and semitropical forests aroynd Bangladesh, India and Nepal. It also lives in wet and dry forests, mangroves, and scrubforests. - Abiotic/biotic factors- The biotic factors are lions, jackals, wolf, bears, goats, rabbits, moose, deer, lemmings, wild cat, trees, grass, fungus, moss, and dwarf willows, and the biotic factors is the temperature, light, water, air, oxygen, type of soil, elevation, as in how far up the mountain, pollution, pressure ==

__Population Size__ - What are the methods of determining the population size of your animal? **The Method to determine the population of my species is to get them into a pack and then in a little section count how many there are, and multiply that number by the amount of little sections that there are in that whole environment.** - What are the factors that affect the population size of your animal? **__WE__ affect the Bengal Tiger because we take it's land and build on top of it, hunt it, and hunt it's dinner.**
 * Adaptions- it's colors blend in to the ground so it could seek it's prey, and it also has big ears so it can hear it's prey more**.
