Thailand’s Tiger Team examine their tiger camera trap pictures from Hua Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary. They have collected hundreds of photographs which they use to study the movement and population of tigers in the reserve, comparing the stripes to ID different individuals. The camera trapping team just returned and found no tigers on cameras in an area that has always been populated by tigers. Two weeks later they found the partial remains of two tiger cubs and the entrails of the tigress and a large male, the alpha male of the area, all of whom were killed by poachers.
