On International Tiger Day, Here’s A Wild Tribute to Some Tigers
On International Tiger Day, we fondly look at some remarkable Tigers.
Today the world celebrates International Tiger Day, a day to raise awareness for tiger conservation.
We at The Quint recognise the urgent need to protect our national animal. But today, why not talk about a different league of tigers.

The National Animal, to Begin With
But it’s only fair that we talk a little about the magnificent cat, our national animal. India took all her claws out to Save Our Tigers, and guess what? It worked. According to the tiger census, released by Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar, the population of tigers has increased from 1,706 in 2011 to 2,226 in 2014. Yay!
Tiger Shroff, the White Cat
He’s the white cat of the Bollywood jungle. Tiger came out of his den with the release of his debut film Heropanti. Unfortunately, the film didn’t garner much attention, despite all the effort the safedi seh safed Tiger Shroff put in. Kya karun yaar, sabko aati nahi. Aur uski jaati nahi.
Once There Was Tiger, We Mean Bhaijaan
The six-pack Bollywood tiger is now on a run from the Indian judiciary’s verdict on the 2002 hit-and-run case. That’s not the only cage, ooppss, sorry case that Salman Khan has to escape – remember the 1998 black buck poaching incident? Come on, a tiger is bound to hunt, isn’t he?
Crouching Tiger (Woods)
The 39-year-old Tiger is out of the woods and ready to reclaim his lost glory. But for this ageing Tiger, it seems like a slow and long journey. The golfer missed the cut at the British Open. In fact, it’s the second time this year that the Tiger missed his target at a Major.
The Not-to-be-conserved Tiger Memon
Tiger Memon –the deadly Indian terrorist and the main accused in the Mumbai 1993 blast case is one Tiger we don’t want to save.
