Russia: Putin receives tiger
MOSCOW There's no doubt what Vladimir Putin's favorite birthday present is this year a rare Ussuri tiger cub.
State television showed the Russian prime minister tenderly petting the 2-month-old female cub Friday at his residence outside Moscow. The cub, weighing about 20 pounds, was curled up in a wicker basket with a tiger-print cushion.
Putin said a good home will be found for the tiger, presumably in a zoo or wildlife preserve. Putin refused to say who gave him the cub for his 56th birthday, which was Tuesday.
