NYTimes reports potentially exciting news this week. Someone has made a recording of what may be a Java Tiger, long thought to be extinct, on Java island in Indonesia. (The recording could also show a Java leopard, which is very rare, but not thought to be extinct.) It’s very exiting, but also a little terrifying: even as I read the article, I felt I could hear the sharpening of poachers’ knives. I trust I’m being too grim.
It's a wild wild world
