• The cubs are born blind
• Tigers achieve full maturity at the age of three
• Tigers hunt usually at night
• The stripes of the tigers are unique, like the fingerprint of the humans
  
• Tigers have powerful vision. They can see six times better than humans

Are you are fascinated by the above facts? may be. This beast is unique in its own grounds. In a broader sense, all the living creatures have the equal rights to live in this world. But we the humans are miserably causing injustice to the laws of nature. Everyone in the world is not responsible for the decline in the number. But everyone is responsible for protecting these left overs.

If we fail to take prior action, then tigers would be a living creature of the past. The study books of the future will quote, "Once there was a ferocious beast tiger that was hunted and poached by humans and became extinct".
