From the Economic Times (part of the India Times, I think). India’s newfound partnership with China on environment issues has yielded results in the area of tiger protection as well.

In Singapore, a Tiger Shrike was observed casting a pellet after eating a large scarab beetle. The Latin species name akool is not a misguided and misspelled attempt of the species to appear cool – rather, akool means restless in Hindi (even though the birds did not seem particularly restless to me, but maybe they are in India).

It’s all very well to advocate the should that tigers should not be poached from a reserve in India. The tigers keep wandering out of their reserve and taking cattle from nearby villages, taking what little these already poor people have. Perhaps it would be better to move the tigers to that bigger reserve, or maybe a zoo.
