Wild Tigers in Yunnan

Wow! Wild tigers were spotted in Xishuangbanna:

For the first time ever, scientists recently captured clear footage of a wild Indo-Chinese tiger in a nature reserve in China’s southeastern Yunnan Province. The researchers used infrared cameras as part of wildlife monitoring and protection project supported jointly by the Xishuangbanna National Nature Conservation Protected Areas Management in Shangyong, Beijing Normal University Institute of Ecology, and the International Species Protection Project.

wow – real tigers!

That’s funny, cause its been on the news recently that there are wild cats loose in Hertfordshire (the county right next to mine – only about 5-10 miles away):

“Several big cats are thought to roam wild in the area after escaping from private zoos.

Locals claim to have spotted a “black puma or panther-like beast” bigger than a Labrador in the local countryside.”

The reason it was in the news is because a celebrity had a lamb as part of a tv program (it was at the Beckham’s ‘Beckingham palace’).. and it was totally annhiliated possibly by a large wild cat: http://www.lse.co.uk/TVNews.asp?Code=LJ49099D&headline=gordon_ramsays_pet_lamb_killed_by_big_cat
