时间&地点：1995年，地点不明，老虎的特写镜头

一只机警的老虎在这个极近距离的特写镜头里呲牙咆哮。人们认为老虎于100多万年前就在中国进化发展，它们向西巡游到过里海，北至西伯利亚，南接印度支那与印度尼西亚。今天，原本8种老虎亚种中的3种已经灭绝，狩猎与栖息地的丢失使得它们的数量从成千上万只下降到可能不到2500只。

A wary tiger flashes a toothy snarl in this extreme close-up. Tigers are thought to have evolved in China more than a million years ago, prowling west toward the Caspian Sea, north to Siberia, and south across Indochina and Indonesia. Today, three of the original eight tiger subspecies are extinct, and hunting and habitat loss have reduced populations from hundreds of thousands of animals to perhaps fewer than 2,500.
