attack by a Siberian tiger in the wilds of the Far East.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080831/wl_nm/russia_putin_tiger_dc_1"><P>
 Putin, taking a break from lambasting the West over 
Georgia, apparently saved the crew while on a trip to a 
national park to see how researchers monitor the tigers in the 
wild.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080831/wl_nm/russia_putin_tiger_dc_1"><P>
 Just as Putin was arriving with a group of wildlife 
specialists to see a trapped Amur tiger, it escaped and ran 
towards a nearby camera crew, the country's main <SPAN id="lw_1220209455_1" class="yshortcuts">television 
station</SPAN> said. Putin quickly shot the beast and sedated it with 
a <SPAN id="lw_1220209455_2" class="yshortcuts">tranquilizer gun</SPAN>.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080831/wl_nm/russia_putin_tiger_dc_1"><P>

 Sensitive to a growing environmental movement in Russia, 
Putin as president redrew a planned <SPAN id="lw_1220209455_8" class="yshortcuts">oil pipeline route</SPAN> to avoid 
Lake Baikal and scrapped plans for an Olympic village near
