Feline fans unite. The newest NPR/Nat Geo radio expeditions feature is up and is about the return of the Siberian Tiger. NPR's Alex Chadwick talks with Dale Miquelle, who directs the Wildlife Conservation Society's Russia program. A pretty ...

On a nondescript street near downtown Harbin, the Double Mountain Local Products Wholesale Center offers the usual array of kitsch items stripped from the wilderness: deer antlers, pelts and dried starfish. A request for tiger wine, a traditional ...

Read part 1 of this story here. The automated gates chug and clatter open as a jeep, its windows ribbed with steel, noisily announces its arrival in the tiger park. Without the usual gaggle of tourists to impress, the occupants of a neighbouring ...

A few months ago I traveled to Harbin, the northernmost large metropolitan in China (close to the Russian border) to do some digging around at the world's largest tiger farm. The resulting 2,500 word story appeared in Nature, but alas, it's behind a ...

One of the longest stretches of time I've been without a shower was the seven days I spent on the Trans-Siberian traveling from Moscow to Beijing. Although the train carriages were comfortable enough, each had only a single toilet, a horrible ...

Well, I suppose it was only a matter of time before the Trans-Siberian was up-scaled. Back in the early 1990s when I traveled the legendary journey, it cost just $150 to travel nearly a quarter of the globe, from Moscow to Beijing. And I paid ...

The Tasmanian Tiger is an elusive beast. The last one in captivity died in the Hobart zoo in 1936, and the tiger is officially extinct. But in Australia, ranchers, hunters and hikers claim every so often that they see one of the ...
