Animal Ark "A Sanctuary for Life"

	Shere Khan & Taja Common Name: Asian Tiger Scientific Name: Panthera tigris Gender: Male, Female Birth Date: August 1993 History: Shere Khan and Taja are a mixture of the Bengal and Sumatran subspecies. They were born in captivity and sold as kittens with their littermates for use in a television commercial. These two cats were not chosen for the film work. Later that year they were donated to Animal Ark for exhibit and educational purposes. Tigers are an endangered species. Outside of protected areas, they are quickly disappearing. While at Animal Ark, Shere Khan and Taja serve as ambassadors for tigers in the wild. The decline in tiger population is directly related to poaching and habitat destruction by humans.
