Obama may have a YouTube channel, but Putin has a web-based tiger tracker. Remember that Amur tiger the Prime Minister deftly shot with a tranquilizer dart last August? Well, you can review the sequence of events at the PM’s tiger fan site.

The site's treasures include play-by-play photos of a camouflaged Putin neutralizing the beast, injecting it with a hypodermic, and cradling its prostrate body in his strong arms. In fact, what Putin did was attach a GPS monitor to the tiger’s collar (Crafty! Where does such training come from? - Ed.) so that we may now track the hapless creature’s whereabouts online.

We’ll keep you abreast of any and all breaking tiger news and promise to keep one eye on the tiger map, even in our sleep. That said, the animal appears to be hibernating (at best) for the time being. While we wait, comb the rest of the site for image albums, educational videos, and the back story, which kicks off with Putin being lowered by helicopter into the tiger’s lair in the Taiga. You’ll also find a transcription of the jokes the PM made while checking the tiger’s vital signs (“She sees you alright, she’ll remember you”).

The PR gets better: Putin reputedly saved several journalists—a Vesti film crew—from the tiger’s imminent attack. When Putin and his posse of researchers and journalists happened upon the big cat, it had just freed itself from a trap, hungry for Russian blood. If you don’t believe us, surely you’ll believe Russia Today. The story’s very Googleable, too. Some recommended search words: “Putin,” “tiger,” and “shirtless.”
