Indonesian forestry officials released two Sumatran tigers back into the wild on Friday.A five-year-old female tiger and a seven-year-old male tiger were captured by villagers in South Aceh province. The tigers had entered and stolen livestock from their villages.The Tambling Wildlife Nature conservancy and Safari Park took the animals into custody.They implanted them with microchips so that officials could monitor their movements. After about 18 months they were released in a national park in Lampung province. The two will join the 45 other Sumatran tigers currently living in the park. The destruction of forests in Sumatra is creating a crisis and further threatening the habitat for Sumatran tigers. Forests are often cleared for palm oil cultivation and logging.Sumatran tigers have been killed during skirmishes with inhabitants living near the jungle. Illegal poachers also hunt them for their skin and body parts. Conservationists say this has caused the tiger population to decline to an estimated 400 to 500 or less, from an original estimate of a thousand in the the 1970s. The Sumatran tiger is the most critically endangered of the world's tiger subspecies.

Scientists are still waiting for the creature to be officially named.Taiwan biologist Ho Ping-ho wants his newly discovered crab to be called the "strawberry crab" for obvious reasons.He and his students found the crab on a beach in southern Taiwan last year while they were investigating the environmental impact of a recent shipwreck.[Ho Ping-ho, Asst. Professor, National Taiwan Ocean University]: (English translation, male)"The strawberry crab is very small and has little economic value, because it's too small to eat. But some people may want to keep them as pets. I think there would be a problem if people are capturing them without control, or keep looking for them on the shore. That is absolutely harmful to them."What they found were two female crabs. One was dead. The other was dying, probably from exposure to oil in the water.Six months later, Professor Ho says he's confident their accidental discovery is in fact, a new species that should be protected.The crabs are being preserved at the National Taiwan Ocean University.
