![]() ![]() Tiger attacks are a fact of life in this inhospitable cauldron, and The Tiger follows in an especially gruesome case- prompting readers to question whether this particular Amur tiger was out for revenge. The people who live in this tiger kingdom are as hardy as you would expect- often carving out a living by scavenging for pine nuts or poaching wild game in freezing cold temperatures that make a Sioux City winter sound balmy by comparison. These tigers once reigned over a large domain stretching from Russia to Korea but now are only found where Russia brushes up against China on its far Eastern coast. The Amur tiger, also known as the Siberian tiger, is the largest cat in the world. ![]() Today, I am recommending The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival by John Vaillant - a narrative nonfiction blend of nature writing and true crime that will appeal to readers who enjoy either genre. This is Michael Maxwell with the Sioux City Public Library and you’re listening to Check It Out. ![]()
