Tiger is our national animal. The tiger is
the symbol of India's wealth of wildlife.
The magnificent tiger, Panthera Tigris,
is a striped animal. It has a thick yellow
coat of fur with dark stripes. The
combination of grace, strength, agility
and enormous power has earned the tiger
its pride of place as the national animal
of India.

Tiger is a beautiful animal but it needs to be saved. As we know that the deforestation is increasing day
by day. They come to the villages and some people get so terrified that they kill these innocent animals.

● Body Part Uses
Bile Medicine to cure children's convulsions

And friends you will be surprised to know that you would never find a single tiger in such a vast continent like
AFRICA.

8. Suggestions to save tigers
The poaching of these innocent creatures should be stopped which can to some extent can
reduce the extinction of the tigers.
For it we can organize rallies so that people are aware of the killing of these
inocent animals for lust some material.
We can stop wearing or using the material which are made of their skin or nails.
