5. At the end of the last word of the existing document, press ‘Enter’ twice and type the
article below.

People have found ways to protect themselves by wearing masks on the back of their
heads. Tigers only attack from behind, so the mask fools them. It seems like the person
is always facing them! Another method used to deter tigers is Scarecrows- which gives
electric shock so any tiger that touches the dummy gets a mild shock. It helps teach
tigers to stop attacking people. Tigers don't like becoming pets because they are wild.
Even captive cubs that have been raised by humans are not domesticated. Trainers in a
circus use whips or chairs to scare the tigers into submission.

White tigers are not a separate subspecies of tiger, they are not from cold, snowy
climates-they come from India. White tigers are a rare form of Bengal tiger. They're
regular tigers with whiskers and tails-they just happen to be colored white. White tigers
actually range from pure white to white with chocolate brown or black stripes. Many
white tigers have blue eyes, but some have amber or even greenish eyes. White is a
very, very unusual color for a wild tiger. Of the thousands of tigers in the wild, only a few
are white. There are many white tigers in captivity, though-and almost all of them are
descended from a wild white Bengal tiger named Mohan that was captured in India in
the 1950s.

Almost all of the captive white tigers in North America today are descended from Mohan
and are highly inbred. Some white tigers have also been mated with other tiger
subspecies, creating what are called hybrid tigers.
