Bengal Tiger Cat

Panthera tigris tigris is rather rare today due to poaching, hunting for sport and habitat destruction. Today, these animals live mostly in sanctuaries and zoos and are protected by the government; the wild population is estimated at about 3,000 individuals all over the world. Unfortunately, so far poaching is still not something the world has left behind, and at least one animal gets killed every day. Their body parts are widely used in Asiatic folk medicines, and having a pelt in possession is a matter of great pride and enviable prestige.
