Misrepresented
In September 2010, the BBC announced a stunning discovery of tigers ([http:// Panthera tigris]) living at high altitude in the Himalayas. The article claimed that a BBC team had discovered first hand evidence of tigers living at 4,100 metres above sea level (asl) in Bhutan.

This revelation spread quickly, achieving worldwide media coverage within days. In a subsequent three-part television documentary Lost Land of the Tiger, BBC claimed that their strategically-placed camera traps had recorded video evidence of tigers, not just in the Bhutanese tropical lowland forests but also at 4,100m asl in high-altitude alpine meadows. Global media hailed this as a great discovery and a boon for tiger conservation.

The problem is, the BBC team were not the first to collect evidence of tigers living at this altitude. A country-wide Bhutan survey had found evidence of tigers living at altitudes of at least 3000m asl in 1989 - more than 20 years earlier.

Movies
 - Life of Pi: Ang Lee's movie adaption of Yann Martel's best-selling novel Life of Pi is one of this year's most anticipated films garnering rave reviews. Cast adrift on the Pacific Ocean, young Pi Patel (Suraj Sharma) learns what it takes to survive in a lifeboat for weeks with an orangutan, a zebra, a hyena and Richard Parker, a 450-pound Bengal tiger who is hungry.  - Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted (2012), Vitaly, a macho Russian tiger, is part of a failing circus that the Madagascar gang teams up with in yet another attempt to get home. Before a terrible accident involving flaming hoops and burnt fur, Vitaly was the star of the show.  - Ice Age films: Diego the smilodon (but who most people call albeit incorrectly, a saber-toothed tiger) is a rather sarcastic but loyal part of the herd of assorted misfits. A carnivore, he had to change his stripes, living with his new herbivorous friends.

Cartoon
 Tigger is a fictional tiger character originally introduced in A. A. Milne's book The House at Pooh Corner. Like other Pooh characters, Tigger is based on one of Christopher Robin Milne's stuffed animals. Nowadays he is most widely recognized as reinterpreted by the Disney studios, with distinctive orange and black stripes, large eyes, a long chin, a springy tail, and (the one detail originating from A. A. Milne) his love of bouncing. As he says himself, "Bouncing is what Tiggers do best."
