20050926 Diamond & Aysha

Shanklin, Isle of Wight, England

This is brother and sister. Diamond was born without the usual 'black stripe' gene.

Today, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) have said that Tigers will soon be extinct.

From 100,000 animals 100 years ago, now there are just 5,000 and falling. China may well be
about to lift the ban on Tiger products which will effectively hasten their end.

For more information, please visit WWF website

Tigers are so amazing. This photo is amazing because it allows one to compare the tiger without stripes to the tiger with stripes

Can't decide if Diamond looks more or less dangerous without his stripes ! Great shot.

Born without the black stripe gene? That's amazing, what a fab looking creature, it only makes it more poignant that they are on the verge of extinction. Cool shot.
