| "Defiance…of
the intruder; of the threat; of the odds. The magnificent tiger
is under siege from all sides. Snarling with teeth bared, tail twitching,
every muscle taut and ready to spring, this cat could be defending
its dinner or its cubs from an intruder or it could be warning a
challenger to back off before things get nasty. But the threat is
much greater than any of those, as this most beautiful and awesome
of big cats is in grave danger of becoming extinct in the wild.
Man's quest for ancient cures derived from its body parts has proven
stronger and more relentless than this splendid cat's struggle for
survival. But the mighty tiger remains defiant." - Rosetta |
