The male tiger grows up to ten feet long from its head to the tip of its tail, and weighs up to 575 pounds. The tiger is classified as an endangered species due to the projected tiger population declining to at the highest 50% due to an index of abundance and a decline in area of occupancy. The tiger consists of eight subspecies, distinguished by the colour of their coat.

Parrot

Habitat destruction, hunting, natural predation and the capture of parrots for pets have taken their toll on this vivid green bird over the last 500 years. The wild population of the Puerto Rican parrot is now down to a meager 40 members, making it one of the 10 most endangered bird species in the world, according to Valido, field supervisor at the FWS' Rio Grande field office in Puerto Rico. About 120 Puerto Rican parrots live in captivity at two aviaries on the island.

Chinese Water Dragon

Chinese Water Dragons (Physignathus Cocincinus) are by far a hardy and magnificent creature. They are native throughout southern parts of China as well as southeast Asia, Laos, eastern Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam & Cambodia. They can be found in riverine forests, or anywhere near fresh water. Similar to an Iguana, yet Chinese Water Dragons only tend to grow around 3 feet long. They also make wonderful pets and do not require as much care
