Fierce (Endangered Species V) 
The Bengal Tiger, with fewer than 3,000 left in the wild, is both a symbol of strength and a species on the edge.  Native to India and its neighboring countries, these apex predators keep forests in balance, yet face relentless threats from shrinking habitats and poaching.  My seashell tiger honors their fierce beauty while reminding us that without protection, their roar may one day fall silent.
