Tiger

Docent said these tigers will be extinct in the wild by 2020. WTH! Breeding programs hope to keep the species alive, if only in zoos and sanctuaries. However, limited genetic diversity makes such preservation efforts difficult due to what is effectively inbreeding, which commonly exposes genetic flaws. Very sad.
