In modern society, humans are the main natural enemies of tigers. Tiger numbers continue to decline due to habitat destruction, poaching and illegal trade, with the species facing the threat of extinction.
2. Large carnivores
Large carnivores, such as lions, leopards, rhinos, etc., may sometimes become competitors or natural enemies of tigers. Such fights usually occur over territory, prey, or other resources.
3. Human-introduced diseases and alien species
Diseases and exotic species introduced by humans sometimes harm tigers' survival. For example, diseases such as canine distemper and canine distemper virus can be transmitted to tigers through infected dogs, posing a serious threat to them.
Although tigers are the apex predator in the ecosystem, many animal species can become potential threats to them in their natural environment. However, due to the continuous degradation of the ecological environment and the intervention of human activities, tigers now face more threats from human activities.
