MOSCOW, Dec. 6 An Amur tiger in Russia's far east appears to be attacking cars to get revenge for a cub that was hit by a vehicle.Vitaly Starostin, a member of a special tiger protection task force, told the Novosti news agency that a female tiger had been spotted along a major road holding a dead cub in her jaws and attacking cars.Motorists should not stop and get out of their cars, Starostin warned.Our officer is now on the scene and controls the situation. He attempted to scare the tiger away but that did not help. But it will go away on her own in several days, he said. The most recent census found about 450 tigers remaining in the Maritime and the Khabarovsk regions.Copyright 2006 by UPI
