Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin shows a tiger cub to journalists at his Novo Ogaryovo residence outside Moscow on this October 9, 2008 file picture. Wild tigers could become extinct in 12 years if countries where they still roam fail to take quick action to protect their habitats and step up the fight against poaching, global wildlife experts told a "tiger summit" Sunday. The World Wildlife Fund and other experts say only about 3,200 tigers remain in the wild, a dramatic plunge from an estimated 100,000 a century ago. [Photo/Agencies] |
