《科学》又登华南虎年画
“华南虎照”既是科学难题（难在什么地方？网友应该知道吧！），又是新闻主题，具有无穷的诱惑力。
11月9日，《科学》虽然用Flat Cat 作压图题目，但是还跟了一个问号。
这一次，《科学》文章首先介绍了中国民间（网民和专家）的调查研究结果（查找出了年画和鉴定出照片里的老虎是一个乖乖虎，连眼睛都懒得反光），然后介绍了官方对野外老虎的态度（不管照片），但是，logic一词却流露出了文章的观点：虎照逻辑！
在镇坪当地，很多居民也对他（周正龙）拍到的老虎持怀疑态度。
村民：周正龙拍的老虎就这么听话，趴到那儿动都不动。
记者：你是觉得很奇怪是吧？你觉得很古怪吗？
村民：老虎这个东西是很敏感的东西，要不就是老虎感冒了，实在动不了的。
记者：我怎么觉得你们村里头把这个当笑话说呀？
村民：本来不是个笑话的，它本来不是个笑话的，它最后成了个笑话了。
（这是关于周老虎评论中最妙的语言，来自CCTV新闻调查）

Flat Cat: Act II
Suspicions about purported photographs of a presumed-extinct South China tiger (Science, 9 November, p. 893) were confirmed last month when a netizen found the apparent source of the image: a 2002 Chinese lunar New Year poster. But China's obsession with the issue has continued. The China Photographers Association convened a team including biologists and forensic scientists who met in Beijing for 5 days pondering 40 digital photos of the beast. On 2 December, they noted, among other things, that the tiger was in exactly the same position in all the photos and that its eyes did not reflect the camera's flash.
Both the photographer and the State Forestry Administration (SFA), however, continue to maintain that a tiger exists in the mountains of Zhengping County. At a 4 December press conference, an SFA spokesperson reiterated that the agency plans to look for it. After the first snowfall, 10 large-carnivore experts will comb a 200,000-hectare forested region for signs of tigers, leopards, and bears. As for the photos, an SFA official offered this logic: "There are a lot of photographs of the Loch Ness monster [in Scotland]. … People care about the existence of the monster rather than the authenticity of the photos."
