"If humans can have unique identity cards, why can’t the big cats? Tigers across all 37 reserves in the country will have their respective photo ID cards. The Centre has okayed a proposal by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) to allot each tiger an identity card across all the tiger reserves located in 17 States. Authorities at Kanha Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh have so far photographed as many as 69 big cats and profiled them in a photo-directory"
This I should see.
I can imagine the photographer roaming around in the jungle in search of Tigers to photograph. When he finds one,
"Good morning Mr.Tiger. Could you kindly pose for a photograph. This is for issuing a Photo ID card?"
"Grrrrrr........."
"Thank you. Now, that is not the pose I want. I want you to lie down regally, with your face turned towards me............. yaaaaa, that is correct"
"Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........................."
"No no no. You are looking too meek, like a cat. Look a bit more aggressive. You are a Tiger"
"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR......................"
"That is better.......now say Cheeeeeeese.(click, click, click)...............once more..............that is good........(click, click, click)"
"Thank you. That was a nice photo session. Now, would you like to see a preview. Please come over"
"Grrrrrrr..............................................."
