Hi! Just a quick note from a VBS snack planner: there are no tigers in Africa! While Africa is huge (the size of the contiguous US, Europe, India, and China, combined!) and very diverse, there are no tigers native to Africa.
Caitlin, I definitely got a chuckle out of that! Silly me. Now that you mention it, I do feel like I can recall learning this tidbit of info about tigers over the years. How silly that so many people think of tigers as being in Africa. You’re totally right!
