The Tiger Who Fought Back

?As Trush and his two colleagues backtracked from Markov?s remains toward his cabin, they found evidence of the animal?s method that, in some ways, was more unnerving than what they had just seen. The tiger had clearly been on the premises for a while, perhaps days ? long enough to defecate at least twice, both times within a few feet of the cabin, as if staking a claim. The heavy aluminum water dipper Markov used for drinking had been chewed so savagely that it was unrecognizable. His latrine, his ax, his beehives ? everything that might have his scent on it ? had been thoroughly explored, and much of it destroyed. His washstand had been knocked off the cabin?s outer wall, and there was a swipe of tiger blood by the door. Tiger tracks were everywhere, circling the cabin, interrupted only by packed depressions in the snow where the animal had stopped to wait and watch before circling yet again.
