I have shared this story with parents and with counselors for years. Last year, a former camper asked that I write it out for a leadership class he was working on. When a parent also asked me about it, I decided to share it here,

There was once a malnourished pregnant tiger near death, determined to feed herself and her unborn cub. She came upon a herd of goats, picked a target, and attacked. The rush of the hunt brought about the birth of her cub as well as her death.

The first tiger became fed up with the second, and dragged him back to his cave, determined to teach the confused one how to be a tiger. Once back, the first tiger let out a giant, spine trembling tiger roar, and asked the second to do the same. The second tiger took in a huge breath, and let out a tiny squeak that could not have outdone a common housecat.

I don't think any other forum topic has generated so many pages. As some point we should copy a "best of" selection of tigerstripe posts into a handy reference thread on how to ID the real thing and then lock that down.

Both. Oddly enough, I think that between the Clash waring tigers and the movie "Apocalypse Now", that's how the bug bit me. On top of the fact that tiger stripes are one of the most amazing camo prints that have been made. And the fact that they were made without a standard that allows for so many veritys and variations.

Just grabed few pics on the Net, it s a early war TS in the plastic bag, I think it s worth to be here . Interesting writting on the the bag, probably a contract from a Japanese maker, could someone explain what it means ?

This is a odd one. Over the years I have handled a lot of tiger stripes, Leopard / Beo Gam and one windproof set in the original plastic bags. In all that I have handled I have never seen a bag that has printing on it. Plus, the way the printing is done, it looks like the way a ERDL tag is printed.

Does look it could be a early Japanese made copy. Like Owen said, there was a company called Tokyo Phantom that made a lot of really accurate items. They have been out of business for about ten years now, I think. Also, FEC ( Far East Command) is one of the Army names for Japan.

"Over 27 years ago, I was fortunate to start a partnership with one of the most iconic brands in the world," he said. "The days since have been filled with so many amazing moments and memories, if I started naming them, I could go on forever.

Since his devastating car crash in Los Angeles, his tournament appearances have been far and few in between. He last won a major in 2019 at the Masters. The next tournament on his docket is unclear but he did participate in the PNC Championship and the Hero World Challenge late last year, sparking hope he will return, at least, to Augusta, in the spring.

Eyeballs, whiskers, bones, brain?the list sounds like part of a multiple choice question in an anatomy class. But did you know that in tigers, these body parts are illegally harvested for medicinal purposes??In traditional Chinese medicine, nearly every part of the tiger has some sort of pharmaceutical value and may be used to treat conditions ranging from epilepsy to impotence.? Tiger fat, for instance, is used in balms to treat rheumatism. Whiskers are thought to cure toothaches, while the remedies for laziness and pimples involve the use of tiger brain matter.

Raking in nearly $6 billion a year on an international scale, the trade in wildlife parts is the third most profitable on the black market after the drug and weapons trade. Currently, almost 60% of the Chinese population and at least 10 million Americans believe in the medicinal use of tiger body parts. Other countries involved in tiger trade include Great Britain, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Vietnam, and Hong Kong, which accounts for nearly half of the business. In these countries, a pair of tiger eyes can sell for $170. A paw is worth $1000. Tiger bone may be sold in powdered form for anywhere between $64-$168/lb or steeped in liquor to make ?tiger wine,? which has been known to sell for over $30,000 a case! A prized pelt could fetch as much as $20,000.

Because of this black market trade, tigers are, unfortunately, often worth more dead than alive, and poor people living in the tiger?s native range frequently turn to poaching to supplement their income. As a result, tiger numbers have plummeted. Over the past century, three subspecies (Bali, Javan, and Caspian) have gone extinct with a fourth, the South China tiger, currently considered ?functionally extinct,? as none have been sighted in the wild since the 1970s. Poaching is largely responsible for these losses and accounts for at least 100 tiger deaths a year, with some estimates placing the death toll as high as one tiger lost per day. Currently, the wild tiger population is approximately 3200?only about 3% of what it was a hundred years ago?and according to a 2010 estimate, if poaching and habitat loss continue at the present rate, wild tigers could be entirely extinct by the year 2022.

However Mohd Nor Shahrizam Nasir, found guilty on two charges of illegal possession of Tiger parts and one for possession of African Elephant ivory, will only serve 24 months in jail as the judge ordered that his sentences run concurrently.

However, the court did not issue the mandatory fine. In February last year, he was arrested at this home where Wildlife Department officers found eight Tiger skins, 22 bags of Tiger skulls and bones and nine African Elephant tusks.

This morning he was handed down a sentence of 24 months each on the charges of keeping the eight Tiger skins, and the 22 Tiger skulls and bones. He received a further 12-month jail term on the third charge of keeping African Elephant tusks.

TRAFFIC is a leading non-governmental organisation working to ensure that trade in wild species is legal and sustainable for the benefit of the planet and people.

As a general rule of thumb, when you want to go see unique things in the wild, it takes a bit of travelling to get there. This has been true of my nearly 30 hour boat trip to Guadalupe Island for Great White Sharks, as well as previous African adventures. In the case of getting to the home of wild tigers in India, it required a rather mixed transport journey.

I decided to stay near Bandhavgarh National Park at Mahua Kothi Lodge, which is from the same AndBeyond company that I went to Africa with for my Tanzania trip. And like then, the place was just crazy nice for being in the middle of nowhere.

What was interesting is that night at dinner we got the opportunity to talk to a conservationist from Africa that has been doing work with the park on behalf of AndBeyond about some of the things we saw.

Ray honestly this has become one of my favorite travel and food blogs too. Dont worry, I still read it for training material too, but your pictures and stories are way better than just about anything else out there.

Great work Ray.

Sometimes just being in the habitat of the animals is as rewarding as actually seeing them. It is important that as many people as possible travel responsibly and employ honest and reputable guides so we can all try and see these great creatures in their natural habitat for many years to come.

P.S. I am jealous as hell too

Tiger 131 was captured in April 1943. In September 1951 it was passed to the Tank Museum where it soon became one of the most famous vehicles in the collection. In 1990 it was decided to restore the tank to running order. Battle damage would not be repaired.
