E5 - THE LAST TIGERS OF HONG KONG: TRUE STORIES OF BIG CATS THAT STALKED BRITAIN'S CHINESE COLONY by John Saeki (2022, Blacksmith Books)

John Ross talks with John Saeki about tigers in Hong Kong. The big cats once made frequent and sometimes deadly forays into the territory, even reaching islands such as Lamma and Lantau.

Listen and learn about the 1911 Stanley Tiger, the Sheung Shui Tiger of 1915 which left two British policemen dead, and the Shing Mun Rambler of 1965, possibly the last tiger to stalk the hills of Hong Kong. They also discuss the fabled “Blue Tiger” of Fujian Province.
