A Senior Tiger Retirement Community and a Good set of Dentures

Hey all you Nature Nerds! We're catching you up with another episode this week where Megan starts us off with a science news about uncombable hair syndrome. Then Jen continues the Tiger theme with some wild stories about Tigers in the wild, including some man eaters. Enjoy!

Organization to Support:

World Wildlife Fund India (WWF-India) www.wwfindia.org/

WWF India has been working toward tiger conservation for 50 years.

WWF India’s work for tiger conservation aims to maintain and restore tiger habitats and critical corridors while conserving the tiger and its prey, eventually increasing and stabilizing tiger populations.

Our work involves camera-trapping exercises and line-transect monitoring in all its tiger landscapes to monitor tigers, co-predators and prey base. We also work closely with local communities around tiger habitats to mitigate human-tiger conflict issues.

On July 29th, 2010, all the 13 tiger range countries of the world adopted the declaration to ensure a sustainable tiger population and double within 12 years. Since then, the day has been marked as Global Tiger Day.
