The coloration of the Tiger is so majestic and cannot be seen in any other animal on the planet* (birds are the exception). They are big and powerful, beautiful and ferocious.

The most beautiful animal ever. Absolutely breathtaking!

[@SiddharthSinghFiery69]

The most tigers are found in Bharat (India). Thanks to conservation projects like Save the Tiger to name one. It's India's National Animal too. By the way there's a forest region called Sundarbans that covers part of India and Bangladesh. Tigers (The Royal Bengal) of Sundarbans are safer than anywhere else because of their fearsome reputation. In fact the Sundarbans are one of the most feared woods in the country. Tigers are safe when humans don't interfere much. It's safe to say that even if the population of wild tigers around the world might dwindle (which I certainly wish not), the tigers in Sundarbans will be in safe haven.

[@residentkrockhead]

I wish the tiger was as feared and respected everywhere as it is there. Just like the elephant among other animals, to see them go extinct would break my heart and soul. I’ve been fascinated by them for my whole life.

To all people saying India still kills Tigers - I am working for a tiger conservation program started by Govt of India for the last 9+ years. India witnesses an increase of 741 tigers within 4 years and houses 70% of the global tiger population. We counted 2967 tigers in India in 2019. Indian Govt is extremely strict in the case of Tigers. Under no circumstances can anyone kill any tiger, the guns given to guards and forest officials are being replaced by tranquilizer guns, except the officials working against the poachers. I know it's not enough since 384 tigers have been killed in the last 10 years, still, there is an 81% drop in poaching in the last 10 years. So actually, the Indian Govt is doing its best to protect tigers.
