A tiger kidnapping or tiger robbery involves two separate crimes. The first crime usually involves an abduction of a person or something someone highly values. Instead of demanding money, the captors demand that a second crime be committed on their behalf. The second crime could be anything from robbery, murder, to planting a bomb.[1] A person or item held hostage is kept by the captors until their demands are met. The goal of the captors is to have their risky/dirty work performed by another person. The victims of a crime like this are less likely to report to authorities since they just committed a crime themselves.[2][3]

I edged close to the beetle, but (as usual) just as I got almost within photo range, it took off and flew about 15 feet away. I let out a small sigh and starting creeping toward its new location. This time, it took off when I was still five feet away. However, just as the tiger beetle left the earth, a big gray robber fly streaked up from the ground nearby and knocked the beetle right out of the air. It was like a ground-to-air missile attack, but much faster. The two tumbled back to the sand together, the tiger beetle firmly in the clutches of the robber fly.
The impact of robber flies on pest insect populations has not been well quantified. Certain species are known to prey specifically on beneficial insects such as honey bees (Apis mellifera) and tiger beetles (Cincindelinae, Photo 1). However, they have also been documented feeding on a variety of economically important pest insects, including white grubs, Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata), black flies, fruit flies (Drosophila sp.) and mosquitos (Photo 4).
Fang likes director Ang Lee's "Life of PI" and the role of the tiger. The wild animals, which seem "fierce" to ordinary people, are very gentle and lovely in Fang Li's eyes. He also wanted to show the lovely and changeable side of the tiger more vividly in front of the audience, so he decided to make a film about the tiger.
To make the film, Fang went to several wildlife parks to select "real tigers" suitable for shaping the role. Finally, the team unanimously selected Wen Wen, a Manchurian tiger, to play "Na Na", the tiger in the film.
As a very important part of the film, Wen Wen, the tiger, won the love of the whole film crew. "Wen Wen is so beautiful. She is a girl whom we love very much. She is a particularly beautiful girl," said Fang.

Anyone, apparently, can make a frappucchino. Even a robber. After knocking over a Starbucks safe Tuesday morning, two robbers hung around the coffee shop long enough to serve between 18 and 25 unsuspecting customers and pocket that money, too, before taking off. Police in Monroe, Washington say the bandits locked two employees in a back room and made a third help them at the drive-up window, where they filled orders for about half an hour.

He had a normal childhood, playingcops and robbers in empty lots, soccer in ball fields, and going to the fair in a nearbytown once a year. He loved winter with its snow, sleigh riding, skating, and buildingsnow fortresses. He did his first drawings of Easter bunnies and horses on theblackboard at school. The teacher encouraged him in his artistic endeavors andadvised his mother to buy all the sketchbooks and crayons he needed.

Werth illustratedfor both Simplicissimus and Querschnitt. He and his wife emigrated tothe United States when the Hitler regime came to power. They came to New Yorkwhere he found work in magazines and eventually illustrated his first children's books.
