What do you like about this subject?  I love animals! Especially Big cats!
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I hope to be a Tiger Conservationist in the near future as this has been my ambition for years.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  The Tiger is the World's Favourite Animal, according to a poll in 2004 organised by Animal Planet. More than 50000 viewers from 73 countries voted in this poll. The tiger won with 10 904votes, only 17 votes more than the runner-up, the dog. The other big cat which participated in this poll, the lion, got 5th, losing out to the tiger, the dog, the dolphin and the horse.
