A survey of India's tiger population, also known as Royal Bengal tigers, could be as low as 1,500 and they could be wiped out in 10 years.

God fucking dammit. I've always, since I was a wee tot, been somewhat worried that the last tiger would die in my lifetime, but it's still depressing to see the news that it's relatively imminent, at least as far as the bengal tiger is concerned.
