Description: "Once respected, feared, and revered across the length and breadth of the Indian subcontinent, the tiger in India is today an endangered species with its numbers dwindling alarmingly. In this situation the concerns of Valmik Thapar, one of India's foremost tiger conservationists, and others like him are isolated voices in the wilderness." "The Illustrated Tigers of India, part of the Oxford India Illustrated Collection, presents a real life account of Indian tigers in the wild. Thapar and fellow experts recount their firsthand experiences of the life and times of the tiger from birth to adulthood. These engaging accounts and authentic tales provide a rare glimpse of the 'secret life of tigers' never seen in captivity."--Jacket.
