Russia's PM Thanks Western Researchers

Vladimir Putin the hero 'saves TV crew from tiger attack' - Telegraph


The Russian prime minister was visiting the Ussuri reserve in Siberia, observing how researchers monitor the tigers in the wild, when a trapped beast escaped and charged towards a nearby camera crew.

Mr Putin helped measure the Amur tiger's incisors before placing a satellite transmitter around the neck of the beast, which can weigh up to 450 kg.
Damn that's one big transmitter.
