They would make lovely coat or a pair of shoes

[BMXgetCHEX]

I want a baby lion cub in my backyard C=

[ThePaperCUTS]

@BMXgetCHEX wow, really? :) how big is your backyard?

[rraudiogal]

Majestic! 

[cmf4321]

They should have prison time or the death penalty for anyone who kills a tiger. There are less than 1200 in the wild. One tiger is more valuable than 50 million people. Humans are replaceable. The tiger species is not. Humans are so vain. Most people don't do anything to CONTRIBUTE to the world...but because they're human...their lives have value??? Tigers, cheetahs, polar bears, baby seals, etc. ADD value to the planet. Humans destroy their environment. Animals don't.

[MajikkaniHand]

@cmf4321 Animals don't destroy their environments? What about army ants, who consume everything in a swath and keep moving? What about deer, who would overbreed and overrun everything without us? How, exactly, do tigers, polar bears, and cheetahs add value to the planet Is it by killing other animals? We can do that fine ourselves. Is it by being pretty? There are lots of pretty things out there.

[MajikkaniHand]

@cmf4321 I don't understand what contributions you find so overwhelming. There isn't an objective standard for what we want to add to the world--how could there be, with the variety of thinking that exists!

The world won't keep these animals alive forever anyway, even if we did protect their habitats. Climate change will eventually hit no matter what we do--it's the nature of planet Earth--and they will die. We can't keep the same array of animals alive forever! Accepting change is a necessity.

[cmf4321]

@MajikkaniHand ONLY humans r destroying the planet. We're destroying species as well. Humans keep "breeding" while all of this "climate change" keeps going. ONLY humans r killing 4 the thrill of it or because of other dysfunctional reasons. I have NO sympathy for humans. Animals & children are innocent victims. Last thing, chimpanzees scored higher on every test than humans during lab tests. Unfortunately, humans have weapons. And look what they're doing..& ur comparing tigers to army ants? WOW

[MajikkaniHand]

@cmf4321 I hate to tell you, but we are not the only ones that kill for fun--look up the exploits of dolphins and you'll see our sadistic twins. I'm (sort of) comparing tigers to army ants because you said animals, and army ants are animals. Lots of animals are evil--cuckoos kill the young of others to survive. Doesn't that count as twisted?

What lab tests? That statement is suspicious.

[cmf4321]

@MajikkaniHand Army ants are insects..not animals. Your logic on the value of humans over animals is frightening. Go live in New York. That's what the world will be like with your logic. I hope you enjoy living with people instead of nature. And the only way to see endangered animals will be in zoo cages. Go live in a prison...that's what fate your argument is in favor of for animals. Your defense of human life over others is VERY scary. Your life is replaceable. Species can't be replaced.

[MajikkaniHand]

@cmf4321 Insects are in the Kingdom Animalia. They're animals.

Do you enjoy living only with nature? I see you're on an internet connection. You're not going to live without your fellow humans, so you can't hate them THAT much.

But really, what I mean is that the world of animals is no picnic, no better than our own. I still value animal life--just not more than I value human life. You seem to be trying to scare me rather than being reasonable, so I'll leave you to your fear.

[MajikkaniHand]

@cmf4321 I'm not going to sing the praises of humanity. Nature is evil, and we (as part of her) are evil too. There is no getting around it--to survive, you are either actively destroying things, or preventing them from existing by taking up their spots. We do it, animals do it, and the one who does it the best wins.

You still won't explain what it is animal are adding in value to the planet. I'm having trouble sympathizing with your view because I can't understand it-try to help me here.

[OsukaHacks]

It so sad ..... ):

[EddieLFCLucas]

how could some one kill a bueatiful aminal like tigers ...

[Icemissa]

so sad how humans destroy everything on earth for money for greed, that's why everyone is unhappy, it's karma

[and551]

they make good soup

[labrador326]

Please watch the video on my channel. Its to save all species of tigers from becoming extinct. Its a petition and if we get 500,000 signatures then it will be up for debate in the government. It would mean so much for my friend who started it up and something needs to be done about it.

Thanks =)

[pirated128]

3:19 to 3:24 u touch its mouth and clean it on the tiger's fur =.= how bad

[MakeitHOT22]

It's heartbreaking that these animals will soon be extinct.

[keybladequeen93]

if you love this video and love tigers, please keep in mind they're incredibly endangered... only 3,500 left in the wild and more being poached all the time... please PLEASE consider donating to the World Wildlife Fund's effort to save tigers, they're wonderful at what they do!! /wwf.panda.org/what_we_do/enda­ngered_species/tigers/

[Neynisah]

@gunzgunzgunz100 Dude i stopped playing aqworlds when i was 9! And i was 8 when i made this account! Gosh!

[hashpuppy101]

what kinda morons would dislike this kinda work?fuckin losers.

[JimboJ1981]

Machli, the name of the female tiger means ''fish'' in hindi/urdu for those of you wondering.

[sounza]

no one can forget the introduction of tiger hunting in asia by british. british introduce hunting tigers by elephant safari. 1 millions tiger now moves to 1407 tigers in india because of british people and india government.

only thing i hate british people is tiger hunting

[hashpuppy101]

@sounza : thaz nonsense. hunting is the gift of our maharajas to the world. the other thing they exceeded in is selling our freedom.

[savvisMJ]

isnt unfair that those animals have been here for millions of years before human and now they are becoming extinct because of us ???

[CHADE471]

thumbs up if you think that people ho is asking for thumbs up are gay ......... wait what? i'm not gay noooooooooooooooooo.

[Pellegrino80]

It would be nice to capture some wild Siberian tiger and introduce them into the wild in the far northern part of Alaska and Canada that are not populated by people so that they can regain their population, and be protected.

[CHADE471]

@Pellegrino80 it's a very good idea and it well be much better if they take them to live in africa

[gingy717]

@CHADE471 Tigers should remain in their natural environment.

[Greens2be]

We dont want a future where we can see these animals ONLY on youtube.....

[GilGabrieelPT]

one of the best creatures on earth... we have to save it!

[sanchirfrance]

tiger brain inteligente than lion

[abeedakbar]

little shit's like mosquitoes should be extinct, NOT TIGERS

[MrShotgunJake]

David attenborough's voice is like sex to my ears.

[MrPrototypz]

the firetruck is hiding in the grass...waiting to attack its prey.the prey spots the firetruck and try to escape, but the firetruck is to fast. *kills deer with its ladder and drives over it* the ambulances have to wait for their turn...

[MrWajax]

Tigers are marvelous animals, I can't help but stand in awe in the presence of these cats. Thumbs up & favorite.

[purefugi21]

i dont see how u8 can harm this preciouse animal..

[BridgetMaloney]

WE MUST save this animal. It is so horrible what we are doing to tigers. We are letting these gorgeous animals become extinct. The next time I come into some money, it is all going to the World Wildlife Fund.

[sfsTrader]

kitty cats

[lollipopfop]

I give to the National Wildlife Fund. Maybe I could squeeze a bit more.

[dieguetti]

I intend on supporting tiger conservation and re introducing them in the wild as well. I would like to this on a major scale once I am rich.

[seangrie8]

If we lose the wild tiger the disrespect we showed will come back to haunt our own.

[kernel16]

First, this doc was incredibly sad on how bad the tiger conservation is this bad in India. Come on India, this is your national symbol put some effort into it. Second, it's also insanely crazy how there are abandon castles and ruins among the forest of India, it's so like the Jungle Book!!

[MrStu1966]

what was the cat doing in the road anyway? i, for one, don't aportion any blame to you sir...

[lollipopfop]

@MrStu1966 You think tigers read road signs, fool? You attempt to not hurt animals in the area they are protected.

[GuysSuck129]

The first 37 seconds reminds me a lot of The Lion King..

[TheZanoobe]

lol me 2 . great peice al though , amazing animale

[TheZuikaku]

I ran over a cat's head with my tricycle yesterday.

[Crimsoncharmedcheeks]

[lauraandbobby]

wow! she got 4 cubs! they are so cute!! but very dangers. i dont want nothing happening to them. ppl got to stop hunting them.

[emilykeen3]

OMG WHY DID U HIT IT !

[Lynn358]

It's so cute seeing the little tiger cubs follow their mom in a line. 0w0

[JaeJaezX1]

FUCK YOU IM ASIAN

[Ninety2q]

You figure with todays technology they could use a transmitter better then that big ass collar.

[grilzzybear123]

same thing xDDD

[alicehavanna]

I agree. The only threat against the tiger is the human! Please watch my video 'save the tigers!'.

[NorthCitySider]

dude Indians are cool. India has the highest population of tigers. It has the only population of Asiatic wild lions in the world. It has the highest population of GAur. It has a whole collection of wild animals. Not to mention the tight space in India and its small area. Its the Chinese people...They cross Nepal, come into India, and start destroying our population.

[Mrjvmanipal]

As human beings evolved from the animal kingdom its a pitty that we have lost that animal feeling.

It seems this is the cost that we have paid in the race for money.

There is hope till there are fighters like the one shown in the documentary and the one documenting that, but we all have to pitch in before its too late

[carmen4thepets]

we are losing all this!such a pitty!

[Dungarth]

MUST..MUST MUST MUST Save this animal, the most gorgeous animal on tis planet, what a beauty..MUST BE SAVED!!!!

[TheSaka24]

@Dungarth

I AGREE!

[TheFXGuru]

@Dungarth Every animals are gorgeous, and we shouldn't save this animal because it is more gorgeous than others as per your logic. Instead, we should save this animal because we respect every animals equally by keeping the system of order of nature as it is. Tiger may be a super predator, but I see the same beauty in super preys too. save 'em all.

[DreamTiger5]

@TheFXGuru Your grammar needs a bit of work, but you're right; all endangered animals deserve conservation efforts. Though personally, most of it should be concentrated on tigers, seeing how they're one of the most endangered of all (at least to my understanding).

[1029blue]

@Dungarth All animals are gorgeous and should be saved. :)

[Neynisah]

@Dungarth I saw agree..so beautiful..i want one!!

[JamesRadnus]

@Dungarth nope, that's a liger

[Nuage151]

@Dungarth Please save the pandas too :(

[mrpossibilities]

The BBC has some kick ass documentaries

[cherDJ]

Absolutely beautiful - incredible looking face at 2:48 - stunning markings.

[louisesoon]

those chinese who kill tigers listen here, may you also be killed soon...

[Nonsaneness]

That's really racist of you.

[leahdawnadh]

HLS!!! I understand that we want to protect the tigers, but you really shouldn't threaten them with death because that isn't gonna help our countries get along!!! Word in other countries travels FAST!!! please don't say that louisesoon!!!

[louisesoon]

yeah i love the bbc narrator's voice..long live tigers....

[yesterdayihadtoast]

lmao i love that guys voice

[TheBlueEyedHero]

Hehe, same here, my favorite voice for documetaries!

[smokinacs911]

[queenofspades84]

[Linedash]

I love all cats, big and small, but the tiger is my favourite. Long live the tiger.

[darkula666]

[willwick]

It's sad that these videos are so beautiful and they're so short...

[a5b4c3d2e1000]

@willwick like my penis

[lighteelco]

1:54

I recognize these kind of eyes in my own household cat. The eyes of being playful and naughty. :D

[taratarajing]

hahhha lol i agree w/ yah!!

[kamikakushii]

The word you're looking for might be "must", but yes indeed we should do something about this.

[NxWhore]

Us humans are bitches.We're letting the specie 'Tiger' go extinct.

The population was about 100,000 100 years ago.

Right now there are only about 4,000 left in the wild.

[mad4669]

Fvck the Chinese for hunting tigers, I hope tigers start hunting the Chinese...

[lighteelco]

Foolish thing to say. The chinese hunt the tigers because the tigers were hunting the chinese.

[TheEqualist]

Even more foolish. The tigers hunted them when the Chinese invaded and destroyed their land.

[AndrosForever]

2:48 "the reasercher used modern scientific methods for his studies of tigers"

*shoots the tiger on the ass*

...lol

[hareeshkk]

he just kinda put him to sleep, he didnt actually kill the tiger..

[AndrosForever]

who said he killed him? you can see the sleeping syringe on the tiger when he gets shot

[hareeshkk]

yay! good job! you have eyes! ahaha

[AndrosForever]

You sir, are a douchebag.  Carry on, with your douchebaggery.

[hareeshkk]

ahah chill it was a joke!

[MissSoccerStar2]

planet Earth!

[ma619as]

[IMJAFFASNAKEY]

[babyvonvon]

[darlingrengifo]

[koolzainski]

I hope I run across someone who boasts about killing a tiger, so I could knock thier teeth out.

[zennybobZz]

i want one lol

[bblubna]

One of the more beautiful of the big cats! More should be done to safeguard these beautiful creatures. Pity China is intent on killing them! Keep up the good work BBC and India.

[timexbear]

china has paied a lot of money and do our best to protect tiger. I think you really don't know china at all!

[sutra46]

Chinese medicine uses Tiger parts and that trade is driving Tiger population down, all over Asia. Chinese govt. turns a blind eye to the illegal imports (illegal by international law).

Chinese pay lip service and make a token donation for the publicity but make no real efforts to stamp out demand.

[timexbear]

first,we also realize medicine problem.Besides less and less use of these medicine in hospital, we also search for substitute for animal material.

second, the illegal trade.We have laws to ban the illegal trade.Who participate illegal trade will be put into the prison.

last, some things happed in china as you say. However,change of a nation's tradition need time. Young in china,like me,even never use chinese medicine besides some made of plant for cold.

we will do better and better.

[sutra46]

timexbear, True, change will come from new generation not from the govt. Same all over the world :-)

[KrimeForArt]

timexbear says the truth.

[becful21]

i think everyone should watch a movie called EARTHLINGS.

[lardpros]

hunck of big piece of poop

[tawfikakkad]

i adore big cats ,,,

[Andrea88]

omg my brothers been on my account again yeah piratejoe i know what you mean i would not want one as a pet, my 10 year old gullable brother does tho, that comment before was from him lol

[earliozz]

1:17...WOO! That other tiger got pwned. hahaha

[Andrea88]

them cubes are so cute, i wish i had one as a pet

[Thepiratejoe]

Until you realized you needed an expensive permit, a set amount of land, proper handlers, and had high maintenance and upkeep fees for one. Keeping an exotic animal in the West is like keeping an exotic car. These animals belong in the wild, not in small confined areas.

[Panthera95]

cool, tiger, my favorite animal apart from the jaguar.
