EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the majesty and power of a Royal Bengal Tiger, Panthera tigris tigris, taken in Nepal during the early 20th century. The image, now housed at The Natural History Museum in London, offers a glimpse into the past when tigers roamed freely through the forests of Asia. The tiger in the photograph, with its distinctive orange coat adorned with black stripes, appears to be looking directly at the camera with a curious yet cautious expression. The image was likely taken during a hunting expedition, as tigers were highly prized for their pelts and other body parts, which were used in traditional Asian medicine and luxury goods. The photograph was taken in 1913, during the reign of King George V. Tigers were considered the king of beasts in many Asian cultures, making this image a fitting tribute to the monarch. The tiger is a member of the Felidae family, which includes other big cats such as lions, jaguars, and leopards. It is a placental mammal, belonging to the order Carnivora and the suborder Feliformia. The photograph is a reminder of the rich biodiversity that once existed in Nepal and other parts of Asia, and the importance of preserving these magnificent animals for future generations. Today, the Royal Bengal Tiger is listed as an endangered species, with fewer than 3,000 individuals remaining in the wild. Conservation efforts, such as habitat protection and anti-poaching measures, are underway to help preserve this iconic species and ensure its survival for generations to come.
