Cathay, a 10-month-old South Chinese Tiger, carries a chicken after making her first successful hunt at the Pretoria National Zoo's Game Breeding Centre at Mokopane, 200km north of Johannesburg, South Africa, Wednesday 10 December 2003. With only 90 of these tigers left on earth, Cathay is one of two, born in a Chinese zoo, that were brought to South Africa in September to ensure the survival of the critically endangered species.
