among the many bits of hindu mythology there s one story about the god shiva who roamed the forest naked. legend has it that he once wandered into a community of saints and their wive. to teach him a lesson the jealous men placed a tiger pit on one of the god s paths. one day shiva fell in, there were howls of pain and then shiva came out wearing a tiger skin. impressive. but it s interesting that in some aspects of this ancient faith that a tiger is not worshiped but worn or ridden. swamis would meditate atop tiger skins, but recent generations woke up to the crisis and by large tiger parts are taboo in india. but that is not the case in china where swapping a pelt for a favor or giving a bottle of tiger bone wine to your boss is still considered pretty

we run in jeeps most of the time. you do not want to be on the ground with them because they can run faster than 30 miles per hour. they have really poor eyesight. so if one is chasing you, you probably just want to throw an article of clothing and hopefully he ll get distracted by that. you took billy to an area where stored is millions of dollars worth of hydes and rhino tusks. talk to us about that. that was the most powerful moment i think emotionally in the show. because there is everything there. there is tiger skins, leopard skins and rhino skin. and some of it still has the meat attached to it, it s drying in this massive cave and you ll see this emotional moment where he has to put his shirt across his nose because the stench is so bad from the rotting flesh. it s amazing. i ve looked at some of the video. it s breath taking and a little scary at times.
