Description
A new edition to the popular Do You Know series! Everything you want to know about tigers accompanied by humorous illustrations by Sampar. Did you know... — Just like very person's fingerprints are unique, so are the stripes on every tiger's head — In India, the number of tigers has dropped by half in the past 5 years. There are only approximately 1,000 left today. That's an average of one tiger death per day.
