Fundraising director James Wren said: “A group of tigers may be known as a streak, but sadly seeing any number of them in the wild is increasingly unlikely.
“Money raised by those who dared to bare is vital in helping us continue our work for tigers around the world, and it’s definitely something to tick off the bucket list.”
