A new edition to the popular Do You Know series! Everything you want to know about tigers accompanied by humorous illustrations by Sampar.

Do you know?
Just like every person's fingerprints are unique, so are the stripes on every tiger's head.
In India, the number of tigers has dropped by half in the past 5 years. There are only approximately 1,000 left today. That's an average of one tiger death per day.

Samuel Parent, pen name Sampar, was born in 1973 in Victoriaville, Quebec. He is a self-taught illustrator and cartoonist.
