South China Tiger Fraud?

BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese Internet users have pointed to a Chinese New Year poster as proof that a controversial photograph of a tiger purportedly snapped in the wild is fake, local media reported Monday.

Last month, Zhou Zhenglong, a farmer from mountainous Zhenping county in northern China’s Shaanxi province, produced photographs of a tiger he said were taken in the forest near his village.

A local forestry authority confirmed the authenticity of the photographs, and said they were proof that the South China tiger, belonging to a sub-species long feared extinct, still existed in the wild.
