Tigers are easily recognizable by their stripes and their tawny fur color, which may range from yellow to orange (the white tiger is one notable exception).
Tigers hunt alone, and their diet consists primarily of medium-sized herbivores such as barking deer, sambar, elk, chital, swamp deer, red deer, rusa deer, wild pigs and buffalo, but they will also take larger prey if the circumstances demand it.
Habitat destruction is the main threat to the existing tiger population (logging continues even in the supposedly protected national parks), but 66 tigers were recorded as being shot and killed between 1998 and 2000?nearly 20% of the total population.

“The Growling Tiger” was one of Trinidad’s legendary calypsonians, famous for his political commentaries and distinctive singing style.
The first of them is a Tiger monologue where he simply expounds on the virtues of calypso, but as he enthuses his delivery becomes a spontaneous calypso where he announces, in rhyme, his intention to sing an “ex tempo” calypso.
The improvisation in Tiger’s calypso echoes through the ages, popping up in altered forms in the strutting of Mohammed Ali, the rapping of hip hop sultans and the boasting of Jamaican dancehall deejays, but never with such wit.

Well, we might say that the speaker expresses a proposition which is true when it corresponds to the fact that Jemima is growling; but we now have: propositions, facts, Jemima, the growling and the property of being true.
Consider: 'Jemima is not growling' and 'Jemima is sitting on the mat or on the cat'.
'All growling tigers are hungry.' This is no conjunction of: this growling tiger is hungry, that one is…that one is etc. Ramsey's solution is that it is akin to holding the rule: if I meet growling tigers, I shall regard them as hungry.

 Neville Marcano: The Growling Tiger of Calypso
The notes also tell us that the Tiger was steeped in the various French, Spanish, and African traditions that permeated calypso and that these influences explain his affinity for old-style minor key calypsos.

Following the interview is an informal, at times impromptu, calypso criticizing the use of atomic energy, particularly its use in weapons, which sadly holds as much weight today as it did in the 1960s when this calypso was recorded.

Most of this was recorded by Alan Lomax in Trinidad in 1962, with a traditional-styled band backing Marcano with flute, fiddle, guitar, bass, and percussion.
Two tracks recorded at the 1966 Newport Folk Festival -- Marcano talking at length about calypso music, and an a cappella "Atomic Energy Calypso" -- are tough to enjoy because of the mediocre fidelity and dry unaccompanied vocals.
