A South China tiger, one of fewer than 100 in existence, inspects his new home at the David Tang Tiger Breeding Center at Philippolis outside Bloemfontein, April 24, 2007. The four-year-old male, known only by his breeding registry number "327", is to be paired with a young female of the same species in a South African reserve. The idea is for the tigers to mix in a wild environment, breed and brush up on their hunting skills before being returned to their native habitat in China.
