The largest member of the cat family, most tigers have more than 100 strips, which, like fingerprints, are unique to each tiger. In the early 1900s about 100,000 tigers lived in the wild, but only 3,000- 4,500 tigers exist today – a reduction of more than 95% – and they face total extinction by 2022, the next Year of the Tiger. This endangered species is killed for its pelt and animal parts, used in traditional Asian medicines, and because they are seen as a threat to ever encroaching human communities.
