Rare China tiger seen in the wild (BBC)

Advertisements [?]

A rare South China tiger has been seen in the wild for the first time in decades, according to reports from China's official Xinhua news agency.

The sighting, which came after a farmer handed in some pictures, surprised researchers who feared the tiger was extinct.

Experts have now confirmed that the photographs do show a young, wild South China tiger.

The tiger is critically endangered and was last sighted in the wild in 1964.

The farmer, who took the pictures at the beginning of this month, lives in Shaanxi province.
