sad....happy...very sad.....story!!!
(
the back leg of this six-month-old Sumatran tiger cub was so badly mangled...
by an "ILLEGAL POACHER" snare that it had to be amputated!!!
He was lucky to survive at all.... having been trapped for four days before being discovered in the rainforest in Aceh Province on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
This picture is one of the entries by a Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2017 finalist.
