Sarah Esteje has made pretty impressive drawings using only a cheap ball pen. Like this tiger.

Robert Brandenburg has hijacked some mass-production paintings to make them look differently by the mere addition of unexpected elements.

Interpol, the international organization against crime, decided to add another theme to its already existing activities: Defense of the Tiger with the creation of project “Predator” which aims at coordinating police forces, custom forces and local and global organizations for protection of wildlife (essentially in South East Asia).

Thanks to L.Boucher for pointing me to the news.

A very nice documentary video from France 2 (in French, but with very nice pictures), about the Tiger (le tigre du Bengale) as can be found in South West of Nepal, in Terai.

Most of the video has been shot in Chitwan National Park and Bardia National Park.

Sometimes, you believe you missed a step. Sometimes, you think you should have stayed at home.

But, being a flightless bird, wandering into the tigers cage and start calling them names was a bad bad idea…

If you know where it comes from, feel free to inform me (I found the photos on a Russian with not much details).

This Canadian artist works on painted pictures whose realism is striking (most people often think they are photographs, at first) and it is quite pleasing to see the very natural and touching attitudes of most of the painted animals. See some of his big cats.

This happened in Turkey, in a zoo.

A tiger found a way to leave its cage to meet a neighboring lion. This was in Ankara zoo and the tiger thus demonstrated its superior strength. Or that the lion does not fight well when it is surprised napping after a meal.

There are still six tigers and two lions in the Ankara zoo.
