44、are the largest of all cat species. Tigers are not only large; they are also fast. They can dash as fast as 40 miles per hour for short distances and leap as far as 30 feet. 36At the start of the 20th century, there were over 100,000 tigers living in the wild. By the turn of the century, the number

45、of tigers outside of catch decreased to just over 3,000. Interestingly, the most serious threats that tigers face come from a much smaller species, one with an average weight of around 140 lbs.

This is because humans have heavily changed the environments. Humans have built towns and cities. Road

50、 and transport systems were created to connect these towns and cities. To feed the people living in these areas, forests and fields have been cleared to create farmland.
