MUIRHEAD`S MYSTERIES: A TIGER IN HONG KONG?


File:2012 Suedchinesischer Tiger.JPGIt`s been a long time since any remotely genuine case of a tiger in Hong Kong has occurred (since the 1960s)  but a couple of weeks back, a scare in the Tai Po area of the former colony of Britain briefly stirred interest in the Hong Kong media. Any definite evidence (and this is not) would be remarkable indeed as the surviving number of South China tigers in the wild could probably be counted by less than the number of fingers of one human hand and that`s being optimistic.

The link below was found by myself on the Hong Kong Wildlife.net Forum and shows some scientist types measuring spoor and a small-ish mammal, very unclear, moving around in undergrowth.
