Autobiography of a Tiger:

Hello, I am a Tiger. I live in the jungle, with my friends. I live here freely with no limits and no boundaries. Nature has bestowed us ample land, water, etc. I use to prey mostly on animals like deer and buffaloes for living. But for the last few years, we are in trouble. Human beings hunt and kill us, they trap us and take us to cities. They keep us in cages, keep us hungry, and use our skin as clothes, which is not fair. Due to these actions I and all my friends use to attack human beings when found. We for the sake of our life attack human beings. We are near to extinct, if all of us die then where you will find such heroic animals like us. I am worried that all of us will no more be a part of this world if this doesn't stop. Please save us from this danger.

But from the last few years, we are in trouble. According to my knowledge, 262 species of us in the world are threatened with extinction.
