Feature Story: July 29th is Global Tiger Day, an annual day to celebrate the tiger and to raise awareness for the approximately 3,900 wild tigers left in the world today. Found primarily in the rain forests, grasslands, and savannas of Asia, wild tiger populations have dropped 97% over the last hundred years, making tigers an endangered species. During the Vietnam War era, however, the tiger population was healthy and thriving, providing CIA a creative way to covertly track the movement of the Northern Vietnamese: a detection device designed to look like tiger droppings.
