KC,
Except that the world population of tigers and rhinos is declining
alarmingly, and mainly because of traditional Chinese medicine  - they have
wiped out their own wild stocks long ago, and now they are laying bare to
the rest of the world. Both are used as aphrodisiacs of all the things
(Tiger Penis Soup!) - why they cannot be encouraged to use Viagra instead is
beyond me. This year is expected to be especially bad, for it is the "Year
of the Tiger" in the Chinese calendar, and blessedly it wont come back for
12 years. Why do you think I keep going to see and photograph tigers?
Because I think, in a generation, you will only see them in fenced off
parks, i.e. glorified zoos. People who have not seen animals in the wild,
especially the big cats and large herbivores, have no idea of their power
and majesty!

Cheers
Jayanand
