I wonder if there are plans to relocate a few unrelated Siberian tigers to that reserve so that the new breeding population does not become inbred?

There are quite a few in North Korea, as its isolation provides some sanctuary.

The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival (Vintage Departures). Gripping and interesting. IIRC you don't know the details of what happened and why until near the end of the book. Locals and these tigers usually avoid each other.

A gripping story of man pitted against nature's most fearsome and efficient predator.

Outside a remote village in Russia's Far East a man-eating tiger is on the prowl. The tiger isn't just killing people, it's murdering them, almost as if it has a vendetta. A team of trackers is dispatched to hunt down the tiger before it strikes again. They know the creature is cunning, injured, and starving, making it even more dangerous. As John Vaillant re-creates these extraordinary events, he gives us an unforgettable and masterful work of narrative nonfiction that combines a riveting portrait of a stark and mysterious region of the world and its people, with the natural history of nature's most deadly predator.

Thank you for the ping, dear.

The picture is spectacular, and I hope that the tiger population grows apace.

[Slings and Arrows]

You’re welcome, and agreed.

**A two and a half month female tiger cub, no name yet given, looks at, at the Novo Ogaryovo residence of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, right, outside Moscow, on Thursday night, Oct. 9, 2008. The cub was presented to Putin on Oct. 7, when he was celebrating his 56 birthday.**

Pootie-Poot seems to have a natural affinity to animals .... his *softer* side ... I believe he'd put a bullet through your forehead in nano-second...if the spirit moved him.

OTOH, our moron-in-chief has a dog that walks him. Telling, no?

Is this some kind of Clemson thing? You people are incorrigible.

Roll Tide.
