Wildlife officials have been trying to track down a wild tiger, called “Vichit”, after it wandered out of its habitat in Huai Kha Khaeng wildlife sanctuary a few days ago.

 

Thawatchai Petcharaburanin, a special forestry expert attached to the 12th Conservation Administration Office, said today (Tuesday) that officials, using tracking devices, received satellite signals from the cat’s collar on Sunday and Monday, which were traced to Mae Poen district of Nakhon Sawan province and Pang Sila Thong district of Kamphaeng Phet province.

 

He also said that footprints of the big cat were found in a eucalyptus plantation in Pang Silathong district, but the cat itself was not seen.

I saw lots of people running down the road once and asked a guy what were they running for?

He said a Tiger had escaped from the zoo, and it was really hungry.

I asked which way was it going?

"He said well we sure as hell ain't following it" !!

Poor tiger could not read the signs that said "The sanctuary finishes here".
