Tigers in the wild are close to extinction in China. But in 2003, conservation took an unexpected twist, with a scheme to "rewild" South China tigers in a South African game reserve. The radical concept of transplanting tigers drew fire at first from experts. But its aim of rehabilitating tigers to hunt wild prey in a secure environment, has led to the birth of three cub -- giving the species vital new impetus. The tigers will eventually be reintroduced back to the wild in China, with a site already earmarked in Zixi county in Jiangxi province, reports Reuters in the Times of India |

The male tiger from Ranthambore walked out of his one-hectare enclosure on Sunday morning to discover his new territory in Sariska. The radio-collared tiger, has the easy option to continue on a goat diet for a few days more. The decision to continue with live bait, overruled an alternative strategy considered earlier last week. That idea was to keep the tiger hungry for a couple of days before releasing him so that he does not wait around looking for livestock and rushes to make a wild kill, writes Jay Mazoomdaar in the Hindustan Times |
