Wild next to city

The wild horses of Assateague island are about a mile away from a city. They are probably descended from colonist's horses. They are completely wild. There are two main herds, Chincoteague and Assateague.

Poison food

When a tiger that lives on a reserve kills livestock, angry villagers poison the carcass. When the tiger returns to feed, it is doomed.

My space!

Sometimes in reserves, 46 tigers are crammed into only 26 kilometers. This is a problem, since 1 male tiger can have a territory of 100 kilometers.

Where's that tiger?

Tigers are disappearing quickly. Perhaps their only hope is a heavily forested country called Bhutan.
