    "A Siberian tiger that was exiled a year ago after terrorising residents has completed an Odyssey of more than 400 miles to return to Vladivostok.

    Dubbed “Vladik” after a nickname for this port city of 600,000 near Russia's borders with China and North Korea, the tiger came near the village of Yasnoye near Vladivostok airport this week. Scientists have followed him via a GPS collar since he was released in Bikin national park after his capture last year. On the long trip back, Vladik crossed the Trans-Siberian railroad and killed and ate three Himalayan black bears.

    On Thursday, scientists said he had begun heading north away from the city."

    • Leopards, arguably #2 on the food-chain, somewhere up there with Cape buffalo, or perhaps an Elephant having a bad day.

    • exiled a year ago after terrorising residents !!!

    This made me laugh. Was he there on a false passport, or did he not apply for a visa?

    How did they "exile" him? Did they escort him in an armored vehicle?

    So many questions, the principal one being "why did they kill him in the first place?

    Humanising animals again?

    He's probably trying to find a girlfriend. Have to admire his optimism.

    I like the pattern of his fur. God has made so many beautiful animals.

    Humans, however, are wonderfully made. While animals are stuck in a heavy fur coat during summer months, we do not have that problem. Yes, we must make or buy clothing, but the Lord provides.

    With cats on the prey, and we have mountain lions here, one must be careful not to imbibe too much alcohol, nor smoke too much weed.
