Panthera tigris 

“Here, Kitty, Kitty, Kitty!”

Are they underestimating you?
Is it time to set everyone straight?
Put them in their place?
You patiently, steadily stalk your victims.
Unshakable concentration.
A stealth fighter.

And then you pounce!
You ambush!
You take control!
And now they know.
“Don’t call her Kitty.  She’s a Tiger--”
One of the strongest animals on the planet.

Tigers will take down large prey that outweigh them by hundreds of pounds, and can drag their kill for miles to find the best dining spot.  It would take about 13 women to prepare and serve such a meal!

Only about 2000 tigers remain in the wild.  Siberian, Bengal, Indochinese, South China, Malayan & Sumatran—these are the remaining subspecies of tigers, and all of these captivating cats face serious challenges such as diminishing habitat, prey loss and poaching.  There are also an estimated 10,000 tigers in the USA kept in inhumane caged conditions.  To learn more about protecting this animal athlete, visit Big Cat Rescue (www.bigcatrescue.org).
