#worldtigerday
I’ve prepared this artwork for international tiger day and if you’re following me on IG or twitter, you probably already saw it! Anyway tigers are my favourite big cats and, I think, favourite animal too.
Wild population of these majestic, endangered predators is now around 3900. In past years their population has growth in India, and now it is home for over 70% of global tiger population.
Three random facts just for fun:
-tigers are the largest of Pantherinae subfamily
-they pay a key role in the ecosystem, belonging to a group of “umbrella species”. It means that by protecting them, we indirectly protects the many other species and their natural habitats
-they use chuffing to communicate. Chuff is usually accompanied with the head bobbing movement and is a kind of “hello, I like you” sign (I love it)
