A tiger named "Ankor" marked a full month on the run Wednesday, having evaded capture since he escaped from a restaurant zoo and disappeared into what appears to be a very tiger-friendly habitat on Mexico's southern Pacific coast.

Mexican authorities have mounted a full-scale search effort including police, soldiers and a group of 10 big-cat experts. They are looking in an area of low woods dotted with marshes, reeds and stands of button mangrove west of the resort of Acapulco.

The country's environmental protection agency said Wednesday it had identified the area where Ankor has taken up residence and had photographed him alive, apparently by using remote trip-wire cameras.

The agency said it expected to capture the animal "in the next few days" and relocate him to a safe place.
