虎在古代中国有很多名字:寅兽、虞者、斑子、大虫等,人们视虎为百兽之长,称为山君。王安石有《次韵酬宋玘》诗云:“游衍水边追野马,啸歌林下应山君”之句。《说文·虎部》曰:“虎,山君之兽”。别看虎是地球上最强悍的超级食肉动物,鹿、麝、兔、狼、熊、羚羊、野猪等都是虎主要的猎物。但它在人类面前实在很脆弱,地球上的老虎在20世纪初还有10万只,其中有4万只在印度。当新世纪来临时,老虎已经到了生存的边缘,2009年世界上老虎的总数在3200只左右,至少有一半的亚种已经灭绝了。
Tiger in ancient China has many names: Yin beast, Yu who, spot, such as large insects, people as the tiger as the length of beasts, known as the mountain king. Wang Anshi has “sub-rhyme Song Yong” poem goes: “swim Yanbian wild horses, Xiao song under the mountain should be” the sentence. “Said Department of Tigers,” said: “tiger, mountain king beast.” Do not look at the tiger is the most powerful super predator on earth, deer, musk deer, rabbits, wolves, bears, antelope, wild boar and so are the main tiger prey. But it is so vulnerable to humankind that tigers on earth have 100,000 in the early 20th century, of which 40,000 were in India. When the new century comes, the tiger has come to the edge of survival. In 2009, the total number of tigers in the world is about 3,200, and at least half of the subspecies have been extinct.
