ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - A - THE TIGER (Panthera tigris)

I found an interesting information about those tiger. In the official website of the Khingan National Reserve (the place where the tiger-boar accident occure) is writhen than after computer tomography was discovered that vertebrae L7 of the tiger was broken:
http://khingan.ru/view_news.php?id=83
"Недавно к нам в руки попало письмо Дугласа Армстронга, директора по ветеринарным вопросам зоопарка и океанариума "Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium”, советника по ветеринарии Североамериканской программы сохранения тигров. В письме в числе прочего говорится следующее: "На снимках компьютерной томографии видно, что как минимум один позвонок, вероятно L7, перед тазовой костью, сломан. Радиолог, специализирующийся на диагностике и животных, и людей, смог подтвердить этот факт. Данное повреждение четко видно на множестве предоставленных снимков. Есть большая вероятность того, что и другие позвонки, и возможно, межпозвоночные диски также повреждены, но подтвердить это по имеющимся снимкам невозможно".
Translation:
"Not long ago we got letter from Duglas Armstrong, veterinary director in the zoo "Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium"... In the letter is written: "in the images from computer tomography is visible, that as minimum as one vertebrae, most probably Vertebrae No L7, in the front of hip bone is BROKEN. Radiolog specialised on diagnostics of animals, confirmed that fact. That damage is cleary visible on the multiply photos. There is a big possibility that some other vertebraes and probably, intravertebral discks are also damaged, but to confirme this on the basis of the images we posses is inpossible"
So its clear that that damage has nothing to do with the cancer.

Viatceslav Kostrikin, the Deputy Director on science work in Chingan Nature Reserve has made this statement:
"Despite discovered during opening of the body metastazes from the canser, the tiger has got a traumas during his struggle with the wild boar and with such a traumas (damages) for the wild animal was no more possible to live in the nature".
"Таким образом, несмотря на обнаруженные у тигра при вскрытии метастазы, причиной получения им травм, несовместимых с жизнью в дикой природе, стала схватка с кабаном."

Also is written that before the struggle the tiger had no visible problems with the movements of his hind legs and he rich the wild boar with four jumps. After the struggle the tiger was with paraslised hund legs and tail:
http://www.amur.info/column/yaroshenko/5516
«Тигр без видимых нарушений функции задних конечностей подошёл к кабаньей тропе, ведущей к гайну (логово – Прим. ред.), и сел у неё в засаду. Через некоторое время по тропе проследовал секач, направляясь к гайну. В четыре прыжка хищник настиг жертву. Кабана тигр оставил на том же месте, где и задавил, отходя на отдых к гайну, расположенному в 10 метрах. Возможно, позже тигр перетащил останки кабана к гайну, где и доедал его. Но, возможно, что тигр перетащил на гайно оставшиеся фрагменты после возвращения. С гайна тигр сошёл уже с парализованными задними конечностями и пополз вверх по левобережью ручья Весёлого, придерживаясь склонов»

So, the Peter's statement No 1235 was 100% correct!

Diamir2 also correctly noticed that if the tiger was totally healthy and if didn't suffered from advanced cancer he most probably could easily kill the boar. Even the Ussurian wild boar is as strong as grizzly bear the tigers normally know how to deal with them since they are their natural food.
