South China tiger photos are "fake"

The controversy over the authenticity of photographs of the believed-to-be-extinct wild South China tiger seemed to have come to an end on Friday when a netizen posted online what he claimed was a "convincing proof" that the pictures are fakes -- a New Year picture of a tiger that hangs on the wall of his home.

The man, named "panzhihua-xydz," said: "It's the same picture. Even the stripes are identical."

He left an online message that he bought the picture last year, but did not specify the date.

The discovery has encouraged skeptics who have always believed the pictures were a hoax for financial gain.
