Title
East of Siberia, Tigers and the Art of Persuasion: A Scottish veterinarian recounts an uncomfortably close encounter with a very big cat

Abstract
The temperate rainforests of Primorye become dense and green in summer, a vastness lost on those within it. Visibility can drop to almost zero along shrub-crowded game trails, where dew-drenched grasses cling like needy toddlers and spider webs tangle in the unshaven faces of those pushing through. Animals, resting nearby in the daytime heat, crash away unseen, and a discordant symphony of birdsong pulses from the canopy. Everything is immediate and aromatic; a box packed tight with vegetation, dirt, sweat, and humidity. Not the kind of box you want to be in with a tiger. This, however, is exactly where Martin Gilbert found himself a few years ago.
