Tigers to be saved
As few as 3,200 tigers are at all-time now, Asian big cats may be on top of the food chain and one of the most
culturally important and best-loved animals, but they are also
vulnerable to extinction. Tigers are forced to compete for space with
dense human populations, face unrelenting pressure from poaching,
retaliatory killings and habitat loss across their range.
By saving tigers, we also save the biologically rich and diverse
landscapes where they still roam — Asia’s last great rain forests,
jungles and wild lands. These forests are home to thousands of other
species, people and the food, freshwater and flood protection that local
communities need to survive.
Three tiger subspecies - the Bali, Javan, and Caspian - have become
extinct in the past 70 years. The six remaining subspecies - Amur,
Bengal, Indochinese, Malayan, South China, and Sumatran - live only in
Asia, and all are threatened by poaching and habitat loss.

nice post...
Among the most endangered species of tigers, the Asian tiger is present only in India and its population is just in hundreds. Most of them are in Sunderbans which is being destroyed little by little. The scientific name of the tiger is PANTHERA TIGRIS. The tigers in Sunderbans have developed the capability of hunting in water (SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST) but it couldn't develop some mechanism to escape from the most treacherous creature in God's creation, the Human.. :D
