Hanoi (AFP) - TRAFFIC wildlife trade monitoring network shows a frozen young tiger being weighed after it was seized by police in Vietnam, where only about 50 of the animals remain.
Hanoi's environmental police found the frozen tiger, weighing 57 kilograms (125 pounds), in the boot of a "suspicious" taxi they stopped in the capital on July 16, TRAFFIC said on July 20.
Authorities were inspecting a frozen young tiger after it was seized by police in Vietnam.
This is the third time the tiger was seized in Hanoi this year.
