There is actually a tiger in this picture–they are way more camouflaged than you would think. This is one of India’s tigers, a (nearly grown) cub my daughter and I saw in Ranthambore National Park!
It can be hard to find good news out there when it comes to environmental issues. So I’m delighted to share that India has managed to double its tiger population from 1,411 in 2006 to to 2,967 today.
When I read Amazing Tigers in elementary schools and share with kids the horrifying decline in tiger populations in the last century, they are always shocked and eager to set to work to make the world safe for tigers. Glad I’ll have some good news to share the next time I visit a school.
