AFP/Peter ParksGreat news on the siberian tiger front. Chinese Scientists have launched an artificial insemination program in a bid to rescue the endangered siberian tiger.
Scientists at China's Henghedaozi Feline Breeding Center in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang artificially inseminated a four-year-old tigress with sperm from a healthy older male on Saturday, Xinhua said.
Only about 400 tigers remain in the wild.
China has been spectacularly successful in breeding the chinese panda in captivity. Let's hope they have similar success with the siberian tiger.
