tigers

Oh, silly tiger! That's a toy, not a snack. See this new German babe (born April 5) eat, rest, and generally look adorable . . . he probably won't be as ready for a cuddle when reaching a full size of around 600 pounds! For now though, he's all (big) ears and into open arms.

In case you're wondering, this is a white Bengal Tiger related to the orangy variety. No matter what color they are, no two tigers are the same and no two stripes are the same. The patterns are created by different skin pigmentation, which grows different colored hair in those lovely blends.

I'm moving on. I'll always love animal prints, but who can resist taking it further and wearing your favorite furry friend? The moment I saw this Whitley Kros WK Spring Tank ($176), I melted. It reminded me of one of my favorite snacks: Barnum's Animal Crackers! The silky tank itself is sexy, but the little traveling animals are sweet. No wonder there's only a Medium left, looks like I'm not the only one with animal instincts.

Spring has sprung, and frankly I haven't seen quite enough baby animals yet this month. Yes, yes there was Pemba and of course the adoro Hasani but the season's almost here and I'm still seeking a pint sized dose of cute.Well, I definitely got that with these three lil ones. Born to mom Bella on March 2 in the land of baby animals (aka, Germany), the Siberian tiger babies made their big press debut in Leipzig last week. Also known as Amur tigers, check out a couple more cute pictures when you read more

Meet Maggie, a d-o-g with a j-o-b. The German Wirehaired Pointer is on duty in Cambodia sniffing out tiger poo. That's right, this pooch is sniffing out droppings in one of the country's largest nature reserves starting this week. Six-year-old Maggie was trained in Russia and joins the Seima Biodiversity Conservation Area to track down the big cats – the last sign of one (a paw print) was in 2007 so scientists are turning to this dog's powerful nose to hopefully find evidence, and help save the diminishing tiger population.
As part of a $10 million, 10-year initiative called "Tigers Forever," New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society joins big cat group, Panthera, in spending about $30,000 to bring this pooch (and another later this year) to Asia for this search. Wildlife monitoring adviser, Hannah O'Kelly explains that the dung's data would help other researchers establish a baseline population of tigers before developing a conservation plan based on the numbers and the potential threats for the reserve.

If we cover the whole area and we don't find any tiger scat, then we can be reasonably confident there are no tigers. That would be very disappointing and I hope that doesn't happen.

I hope it doesn't happen either and I'll be following in hopes that proof of tigers' poo comes soon!
