Tiger heads to Africa for romance

SHANGHAI, China (Reuters) -- A South China tiger, one of fewer than 100 in existence, has left Shanghai for a romantic mission to Africa that might help save the species.

The four-year-old male, known only by his breeding registry number "327," is to be paired with a young female of the same species in a South African reserve. He took off from a Shanghai airport Monday.

The idea is for the tigers to mix in a wild environment, breed and brush up on their hunting skills before being returned to their native habitat in China.

China's Suzhou South China Tiger Reserve volunteered the male tiger for the mating mission.

"South Africa offers land, expertise and prey animals, so it facilitates the tiger re-wilding in a much quicker and faster way," said Li Quan, founder of the charity Save China's Tigers.
