Tigers' love By Wang Jianzhong (Xinhua) Updated: 2006-05-24 11:08
Two South China tigers flirt with each
other in the South China Tiger-Breeding Base in Suzhou, East China's Jiangsu
Province, May 23, 2006. The 7-year-old male tiger mates with the 3-year-old
female tiger naturally, and they were not injected with any drug to
provoke their instincts, said officials in the base. The South China
tiger, which could be found only in China, is listed in the IUCN Red
List of Threatened Species. Chinese animal breeding specialists have in the
past tried a number of methods to boost numbers of animals close to extinction.
