Wellington's people saddened

Walt: write a report/narrative.


On the 29th of August, room 11 decided to write a report or narrative about the Sumatran tiger who died.


 A 21 year old tiger named Cantik, died in Wellington zoo. Normal tigers in the wild died after 10 years living, tigers in the zoo died after 20 years of living but Cantik, died 1 year after. Cantik was apart of the breeding industry so her species could survive. She was suffering from cancer and arthritis. Cantik was brought to the Wellington zoo from Netherlands for 1994. The doctors and people couldn't handle her suffering so they euthanized her. They drugged her and put her down without suffering. Cantik had 20 cubs and after the tragic incident, all her cubs went to different zoos in Australia, and New Zealand.


Sumatran tiger facts;


The Sumatran tigers are the smallest tigers in the tiger species. They have powerful legs, huge paws, and a powerful jaw. Sumatran tigers always stay near their mother and never make contact with their father. There is only 300-400 Sumatran tigers left in the world. Did you know that Sumatran tigers are very fast swimmers. All Sumatran Tigers have different strip and fur patterns because they all are not the same. Sumatran tigers are critically endangered. 90% of Sumatran tigers failed to catch their prey.


I think that the Sumatran tigers is special because they come from the Netherlands. These tigers are very interesting because their species is about to be extinct. I found out that these tigers are fast swimmers I was shocked. I have never seen a Cantik but what I have heard from, Cantik sounds sensitive. I thought it was sad when Cantik was euthanized. I think that the Wellington's people would be hurtful to hear about Cantik.
