Improbably, the Tiger Survives |
 | | Nevertheless, that the mighty tiger is holding its own in many pockets heartens biologists and offers a refreshing counterpoint to the dirges in conservation circles, with their bleak refrains of a world peopled solely by weedy species like squirrels, crows, roaches, rats and people. |
 | | The symbolic value of the tiger is flamboyant enough that, several years ago, a shareholder stood up at a corporate meeting for Exxon, which long urged drivers to put a tiger in their tank. |
