Russia President Seeks Six-Year Term

This year's favorite 56th birthday gift for Russian Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin, is an Ussuri tiger cub. Russian state TV showed the two-month-old female cub. The tiger weighs around 20lbs and sleeps at Putin's residence. The tiger is yet to be named. Putin is leaning towards Mashenka or Milashka.

State television showed the Russian prime minister affectionately petting the two-month-old female cub on Friday. The tiger weighs only about 20 pounds and sleeps in a wicker basket at Putin's residence outside Moscow.
Putin plans to find a real home for the tiger, which will most likely be the wildlife preserve or the zoo.

The Ussuri tiger is also known as the Siberian, Amur or Manchurian tiger-fewer than 400 are believed to survive in the wild.
