National
Animal
The large Asiatic carnivorous feline quadruped, Panthera tigris, maneless, of
tawny yellow colour with blackish transerve stripes and white belly, proverbial
for its power and its magnificence is the national animal of India. There are
very few tigers left in the world today. A decade ago the tiger population in
India had dwindled to a few hundreds.
The Government of India, under its Project Tiger Programme, started a massive
effort to preserve the tiger population. Today, thanks to Project Tiger, India's
population of tigers is in a comfortable Position.
