One of India's southern states is the backdrop for today's Geo Quiz.

This state's squeezed in between the Arabian Sea to the west, and the state of Andra Pradesh to the east.
50 million people live there -- so it's a little crowded in the cities. But a fifth of the state is covered by forests. You can spot some of India's endangered Bengal tigers there.
Their numbers tell the story: Right now there are about 1,500 Bengal tigers left in the wild in all of India. That's 2,000 fewer tigers than there were five years ago.
We'll take you to a national park named Nagarhole where some of the big cats still roam. But first you've got to name the state in southern India where the park's located.
