fun fact: india is the only country to which, both, lions and tigers are native.

india also has native elephants, rhinos, bears, and panthers.

last one before i rattle off the cast of the jungle book: india also had native cheetahs, but the last three were shot down around a century ago under the headlights of a hunting maharaja.

#QuirkyFilmQuestion
July 29 - Name a film that features a tiger.
#InternationalTigerDay

Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)

"The hardcore do understand, but I can't watch my friend be killed."

This is my favorite of the franchise. In the first film, Po and Tigress are in constant conflict. In this one, the relationship has shifted to a partnership of equals.

For #InternationalTigerDay, here's a 2016 photo of Sita, one of Tucson's Reid Park Zoo's tigers. (Passed away in 2019, sadly, age 19.)

The Reid Park Zoo is very nice, well worth a visit.

White tigers, like this one, are leucistic rather than albino. Albinism is a complete lack of pigment, whilst leucism results in reduced pigmentation.

It's #InternationalTigerDay !

"The Bengal Tiger" by Friedrich Wilhelm Kuhnert (1865-1926). From THE WORLD OF ANIMAL LIFE, ed. Fred Smith, 1910.

Kuhnert traveled extensively, sketching and painting wildlife in their natural environs, at a time when most animal artists painted from captive animals in zoos.
