Editor's Note:
International Tiger Day is celebrated on July 29 annually since 2010 to raise awareness for tiger conservation. At least 3,890 tigers remain in the wild while much work still needs to prevent the species from extinction, according to the official website of the World Wildlife Fund. Photos: CFP
