Glad to see he's doing well. Now if only he'd track down the poachers and eat them. That would make it even better.

A rare Sumatran tiger foiled poachers by escaping from a trap and surviving without his foot. The tiger was photographed in March and May by motion-sensor cameras in the Tesso Nilo national park.
<BLOCKQUOTE><P><EM>In normal circumstances the beast would have been expected to die from blood loss or an infection, or simply to starve to death because of a severely reduced capacity to hunt.</EM></p> <P><EM>However, to the astonishment of conservationists, the tiger appears to have recovered from the loss and is managing to catch enough food to keep it healthy. “His condition seemed quite stable,” Sunarto, a WWF biologist in Sumatra, said. “He has been surviving – I don’t know how. It’s very surprising he’s still alive.”</EM></P></BLOCKQUOTE>
