Vladimir Putin, who is on a working visit to the region, arrived at the reserve on a helicopter. There he met with scientists working on research and preservation of the Amur tiger – one of the rarest predators on the planet. There are only about 450 big cats in Russia.

Then Putin was offered to travel to taiga and see the trapped tigress.
‘Vesti’ TV channel journalists, who were waiting for the Prime Minister at the site, just five metres away from the animal, didn’t notice that the big cat freed itself.
They could have been attacked, but Putin reacted quickly and used the dart gun to stop the animal.

So, Vlad Putin and Sarah Palin appear to be equally at ease with taking down large game...I wonder if Obama of Biden could have done the same!
