I can believe that watching an animal in its native habitat is the best way
but
there are many problems with 'nature tourism' (not just for tiger-watching
) - not the least being the pollution caused by people flying to see them. Tourists require accomodation and transport when visiting (
e.g.) India - this impinges on the space available for animals - especially large mammals which need a vast area of undisturbed habitat for survival.
I suspect that the tiger will not last long in India unless something really serious is done to conserve it (
e.g. http://www.france24.com/france24Publ...a6&cat=science ), so for my part I'll watch films!
- if it does become extinct in the wild then I'm afraid we shall only see them in zoos ...

Check out this website-www.junglemantra.com. Bandhavgarh National Park has the highest density of Tigers amongst all the Parks in India- and its the best place for seeing Tigers in the wild.
