A Thousand White Tigers in My Hand

Sleep as if she was lying peacefully on her side. Her legs were hidden near her body and she still felt warm when I touched her gently on the head. Half-closed eyelids partially covered her ocean blue eyes and her soft, creamy white fur tempted me, snuggle up next to her. She was a 350-pound white tiger, and during the night she died peacefully in his sleep. With only about 200 white tigers performed in the United States, not an autopsy to determine the cause of their death.White Tiger Tiger kinds of Their Own, They are white-colored Bengal tigers. You either do not albinos, they have a pink nose, creamy white fur with black / brown stripes and blue eyes. White tigers occur only when two tigers mate and both carry the gene for white coloration. I helped the vets in their nine-meter-long body stretched out, as the chief veterinarian made a small incision in the abdomen in order to explore their vital organs. In examining the tiger, the doctor Prepared your vital organs for testing by sealing MULTIPLE em sterilized in small containers. As I sat next to the tiger's head, looked at the physician and patient history, Said, Hold this. As if he was holding a Ming vase, the doctor carefully Rested a warm fleshy ball in my palm. They are more than a thousand white tiger is holding in his hand. He added said.While Continuing ET historical investigation, this is one of her ovaries and May he one day save this species from extinction whole. Such mammals as the Tigers have thousands of surplus eggs in the ovaries and sperm cells of millions in their testes. If access, thesis gametes as they are called scientifically, can be used to drastically increase the breeding potential of an individual animal.This Be is the future of endangered species recovery and survival. Assisted Reproduction Technology is a new tool for conservation, which has the potential to play a role in reversing the plight of our critical endangered species. Assisted Reproductive Technology such as artificial insemination, embryo transfer and vitro or in vitro fertilization Represent is a powerful tool for extracting, storing and use of viable gametes from both living and recently dead animals. Embryos by in vitro fertilization, test tube tigers are prepared, for example, to be frozen, the recipient of the closely related species or Sami or cryopreserved and stored for later transfer. In essence, the endangered animals capable of long race after they recover as die.Organizations AIM to international recovery germ cell germ cells and other biomaterials from animals in captivity, Which-as-a conservation tool for research and preservation of genetic diversity within the endangered population. A network (of the participating institutions such as national parks, reserves, zoos and farms) has access to the genetic material of rare and endangered species in their, that established the institutions. Several South African wildlife organizations have already collected biological material and cross-slope of cheetahs, black and white rhinos, dolphins, antelopes, wild dogs and sand. Through this project viable genetic material of endangered wild animals recovered dead and back into the wild. This technology can minimize the impact of the loss this year, the individual member to the rest of the STI have already thinning population.Assisted reproduction technology can not only drank the potential of saving endangered populations, it preserves the genetic diversity aussi. If animals of one year at the last minute saved dangerous, remains only a fraction of the genetic diversity of STI. Genetic diversity is what every individual differences. Each animal, the playback device contains sexually his own personal mix of genes. I am quoting EO Wilson, in Biodiversity (1988, Washington, DC. National Academy Press). The number of genes in the range of about 1,000 in bacteria and fungi to 10,000 in about 700,000 or more in many flowering plants and some animals. A typical mammal such as the house mouse has about 100,000 genes .... When fully extended, the circular DNA would be a meter long. If the target molecule with the naked eye .... For complete information are included if they are translated into ordinary letter-size printed text, would only fill all 15 editions of the Encyclopaedia Britannica published sincere 1768.This huge differences within a species, ICTs allow people to adapt climate change and local environmental - conditions. Moreover, the genetic diversity Be critical in controlling diversity disease.Genetic American farms increases in total crop loss of over $ 500 million per year. Without a constant mix of new resistant genes in our species, pests and diseases could quickly out of hand. Genetic diversity provides a constantly evolving defense against intruders, says more subjects to pesticides. About 400 species of pests already have a resistance to one or more of the Pesticides Used to control human overpopulation them.Due developed, many wildlife populations are fragmented and spread over long distances. Highways, fences, buildings and designed to make our lives easier, animal divide territories.The Florida panther, for example in a genetic bottleneck. Fragmented territory and population loss due to immigration and emigration from the subspecies of mountain lion is stopped adjacent. This creates little or no genetic isolation between them. Unable to refresh the gene pool is the only variety in change. Mutation may be important to measure genetic diversity, it results.In rarely positive in addition to auto collisions, on the 49% of Florida panther deaths documented, inbreeding within species, has added to the population reduction. Low semen quality, lowered fertility, and a decline in cub survival have played a major role in the Florida panther population limit of only 50-60 individuals. This has happened to the cheetah population in Africa. The effects of inbreeding are Florida Panthers clearly visible. Many kinked tails and panther Have a vertebra or vertebrae of hair in the middle of the back STIs. These are likely to be expressed by recessive genes results Being Through inbreeding. Assisted Reproductive Technology May, a solution for the Florida Panthers to be a problem. Breeding the Florida panthers to other cats, the species could increase the gene pool Thusi refresh their reproductive potential. This has been on a few panthers with limited success, the target potential for silent remains.As the white tiger, when the veterinarians concluded their examination, they could not find the cause of death of their silent Tested. Their bodies were immediately feel at a laboratory for further testing, while their ovaries were prepared for safe storage. After my last farewell, I slid my hand gently over the soft tiger's face, always close your eyes ocean blue, while their future offspring slipped into a cryogenic chamber countless foggy waiting for the day they were born ....
