Police in China have detained a man over the death of a rare Siberian tiger discovered in the back of an SUV, a report said on Thursday. Pictures showing officers pulling the black-streaked tiger, wrapped in a plastic bag, out of a white vehicle went viral on China's Internet after they were posted online. Trade in Siberian tigers, also known as Amur tigers, is outlawed under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. Hundreds of the animals, known scientifically as Panthera tigris altaica, once roamed the lush pine and oak forests of northeastern China.
