The Texas Observer: "…more captive tigers live in Texas than prowl in the wild in India."

A Tiger's Tale by Melissa del Bosque
"It’s nearly impossible to know how many tigers and other exotic animals live in Texas because no state or federal agency tracks the number of animals in private ownership. Farinato can only guess at the number. Some animal experts estimate at least 3,000 tigers in the Lone Star State. That means more captive tigers live in Texas than prowl in the wild in India."
