Tiger: Lord of the Wild

Beautiful, majestic, powerful and deadly, the tiger has thrived on the planet for countless centuries. But the great beasts have recently diminished to precious thousands in the forests of India, Nepal, Siberia, and Southeast Asia, and the tiger's shrinking domain is causing chaos in the natural world. Sanctuaries designed to preserve the animal have resulted in fatal human attacks and the severely reduced tiger population has caused frequent inbreeding and created a profitable worldwide black market for everything from tiger skeletons to tiger skin. Stunning up-close photography takes you into the tiger's realm where you can witness first hand the great cats in their struggle for survival in the wild.
