YEAR OF THE TIGER / By OnAsia Photographers. It's the Year of the Tiger, the Metal Tiger to be precise. According to Chinese astrology, the Tiger symbolises courage and protection of the household. This year’s Metal Tiger will apparently add a little backbone and resolve for positive achievement during the coming months. OnAsia has some great images of the Tiger in Asia, some in the wild; some less fortunate held in captivity and some not fortunate at all...ending up as trophies, skins or cut into parts and sold as aphrodisiacs. To see more images of Asian Wildlife, take a look at our showcase of imagery, CLICK HERE.
