Tiger Burning Bright

Authorities in Russia’s Far East launched a hunt Wednesday for a man-eating tiger that has killed two people this month. The animal mauled and ate one man Dec. 3 and killed a second man Monday in the northern Primorye region along Russia’s southeast coast, the Interfax news agency reported Wednesday. A team of hunters set out Wednesday to look for the tiger. Russia’s tigers in the Far East are nearing extinction because of poaching and human activity in their forest habitat.
