According to NewScientist, despite the difficulty in counting the big cats, experts estimated that there were more than 3500 tigers in India in 2001 and 2002. Unfortunately, the latest figures are pointing at a figure nearer to 1300-1500.

The size of the populations in large parks seems to be still enough to ensure the survival of the species, but things are looking grimmer and grimmer for the tiger.

Two tigers, actually brothers, bron together on 31st May 2007 in Tianjin zoo, China. But they don’t have the same color.

A North China breeding center has announced that they already had 84 births this year. The Amur Tigers or Siberian Tiger, or Machurian Tiger are the largest living big cats with more than 600 pounds for an adult.

They intend to breed some of them in order to prepare them for a future life in the wild (the species is threatened by poachers and competition for habitat with humans).

Neatorama had a mad streak of posting with all these images and videos about big felines in weird contexts. It’s no longer wildlife, but it’s zazzy enough to show.

In this order, you will find below:

• The leopard in the bed
• The cheetah in the car (video)
• The lion in the tub
• The tigers and the chicklets

A photographer is hidden behind the FloFlo pseudo. She went to Northern India in December 2006 and she brought a few interesting phtoos organized as mini-slide-shows. The initial sorting allowed to separate some photograph of animal (wild or not) and snapshots of the Indian daily life (from a great country were colour is present everywhere in life).
