even killed, as a result of over-zealous armed policemen making
misidentifications. That tiger's lucky it isn't riddled with bullet
holes.

I bet there'd have been tears if the tiger had been one of Bart
Bervoets' plushies. :-)

By the time they were close enough, the helicopter's propwash knocked the
plushie over. Kind of speeds the identification process. ;)

And here's the video from the helicopter.
Here they say that it was identified as a toy because it *didn't* move. In
the longer shots, I think it does look quite convincing, and it's only
when they zoom in really close that it looks like a toy.
Also I note that the police commentator says that it didn't give a heat
source on the thermal imager, but it would seem that was just an
assumption because it clearly *does* show as warm on the thermal imager,
presumably because the morning sun warmed it at a faster rate than the
surrounding ground due to its low thermal density.
