Due to human pressures such as deforestation and illegal poaching, there are fewer than 4, 000 wild tigers in the world. What are your thoughts on protecting these majestic creatures?

Majestic creatures! Really glad the conservation efforts are really working. Hope the number continues to grow to an acceptable level for it to survive on its own. I understand if some are taken down if they start attacking livestock and people. But poaching is just plain unnecessary and evil. Thank you for sharing National Geographic.

I just want to know more about this amazing animal. I have read one article on internet which stated that every tiger has it's own unique Pugmark (footprint) as like we human have unique fingerprints. Is it true??

[okman]

Still don't know how they got their stripes....

[AndrewMRoots]

[OliverTerp]

I think every tiger color mutation is beautiful every subspecies we still have today the Bengal Tiger the Siberian Tiger the IndoChinese Tiger the Malayan Tiger Sumatran Tiger and the South China Tiger are magnificent animals and very beautiful big cats even though that the Bali Tiger the Caspian Tiger and the Javan Tiger are extinct I still the facts how they where about 100 years ago where they widely spread from the Asian mainland to Indonesian islands
