    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Eighty-four Siberian tigers, among the world's rarest animals, have been born since March at a northeastern China breeding center, an official said Sunday. Liu Dan, an official with the Hengdaohezi Feline Breeding Center in the suburbs of Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province, was quoted by Xinhua News Agency as saying the cubs were doing well. He said 13 more pregnant Siberian tigers were expected to give birth to a total of 20 to 30 cubs by October. Fewer than 400 Siberian tigers ? also known as Amur, Manchurian or Ussuri tiger ? are believed to survive in the wild, about 20 of them in China and the rest in Russia. They are the largest tiger species, weighing up to 600 pounds.</div>http://www.happynews.com/news/6182007/84-s...hina-center.htm This is great news, as much as I hate China and most of Asia for their enviromental issues, this is a good sign that they are taking this seriously, I always hate watching Tiger specials and hearing how their are only 'this many hundred yet'....kind of uplifting news.

    Of the recent articles you posted, this is the only one I give a damn about. It is a shame of the numbers of tigers left in this world.
