Hungry Tigers, Seoul, South Korea, 1995
Photograph by Michael Nichols
Hungry tigers stand on display atop an SUV in Seoul, South Korea's Everland Resort amusement park. The park's tigers are fed chunks of meat dangled from a tour bus so sightseers can view the staged carnage up close.
Of the eight known tiger subspecies only five remain. Three—the Caspian, Bali, and Javan—became extinct during the 20th century. The extant species—Bengal, South China, Indochinese, Sumatran, and Siberian—number only about 5,000 to 7,000 individuals combined, and all are endangered.

饥饿的老虎,首尔,韩国,1995
摄影者:Michael Nichols
韩国汉城的“Everland”主题公园,饥饿的老虎站在SUV车的顶部。这个公园通过旅游巴士向老虎们喂大块的肉,用来使游客可以近距离地观赏争食表演。
老虎的8个亚种目前仅存5个。另3个-----里海虎,巴里虎,爪哇虎----已于20世纪消失。现存的种类----孟加拉虎,华南虎,印支虎,苏门答腊虎和西伯利亚虎----数量仅剩5000--7000,无论是个体还是种群,都异常濒危。
