Watch: Why did this tiger steal a bucket from a pair of Russian fishermen? We have some theories.

Up-close cameos by one of the world’s most all-around magnificent carnivores aren’t super-common. The Amur tiger, that great painted cat of northeastern Asia, tends to steer clear of people, which only makes its occasional, broad-daylight materialization out of the woods that much more remarkable.
