This tiger crawled up to the perimeter and was met with a claymore mine. The upper teeth were removed before the camera arrived. Gary carried one of the bottom fangs in his pocket for about a week, until he couldn't stand the smell from the rotting tooth. Gary is holding the tiger's head. George Ambrose (medic) is watching.
