I couldn't believe it when I read it, but it's true: wild tigers are on the verge of becoming extinct in the wild - gone forever.
In the past 100 years, 97 percent of the world's wild tiger population has been wiped out, largely due to poaching, prey depletion, and habitat destruction. Worse yet, there are only 1,000 breeding females left.
It's hard to imagine a future without an animal as iconic as the tiger.
