Panthera Tigris Altaica

A beauty so rare in it's habitat Endangered they are by the human brat Like many others on our planet earth Our greed devalues their living worth These Siberian Stripe-rs from the Trans-Caucasus lands To view it in it's wilds is a feeling of grand But it's so tragic to believe how few of them remain Around five hundred and twenty, live in their domain Three hundred and fifty Kg's, with a one metre tail Panthera tigris altaica is the size of the male In China they are being reared to repopulate it's wilds So generations of our children, will deservedly smile Will we ever learn that they are entitled to be here As us humans expand into their expanse year after year There has to be a time when respect is due to them Then our time has come to change from man to men If the above does not happen, we become the last two lines Another species gone, this most beautiful panthera feline Imagine the moment when you look into his eyes There are millions of us, as their last one dies http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/poetry-soup-11.php
