Siberian Tiger
Original Poem by Anne G
Siberian tiger
so wild – so strong
the masterful hunter
of prey big and small
A cat with distinction
the largest of all
Taiga, the forest
Russia, it’s home
Siberian tiger
solitary and free
roams through the forests
of birch, larch and fir
Amur, they are called
by Siberian folk
their habitat dwindling
their numbers unknown
Mining, pollution
all pose a threat
hunter and poacher
the greatest of all
Siberian tiger
survival in doubt
ten years to extinction
if change is not wrought
Subspecies were nine
only six still remain
Caspian, Javan
Bali – extinct
Siberian tiger
feline unique
species endangered
for money and greed
Protect and preserve
the Siberian cat
their very existence
depends on us all
