Zoologists at the Land of the Leopard national park have received rare footage of Amur tigers. Three tigers were caught on a video camera. They were walking one after another, the largest of them in the middle, the other two, of a smaller size, alongside them, as though they were a family.
Dina Matyukhina, a Land of the Leopard researcher, thinks that the animals in the video are either a tigress and two cubs or three young males born in the same litter because tigers are solitary animals. “The animals in the video seem to be 1.5-2 years old. When cubs are two years of age, they are ready to abandon their mother, but can still accompany her. This isn’t surprising. Young males usually outgrow their mothers by the age of two,” she said.
So far, the researchers aren’t absolutely sure whether the tiger in the centre is the mother tiger. To say more exactly, they need to thoroughly analyse all of the photos and videos of tigers from the same area.
The above video was recorded in the park’s northern section where tiger population research had been largely sporadic, with photo traps set in typical leopard habitats. Now that Amur tigers were spotted there, new photo and video cameras will be installed, making it possible to monitor the tiger population in that area of the park and add more data to the Amur tiger population statistics.
The video suggests that tigers in the park’s northern section reproduce normally.
As a rule, tigers have one to five cubs in a litter, but only one or two of the cubs survive, while almost half of the litter perishes before reaching the age of one for various reasons. If all of the three tigers in the video prove to be siblings, then this is a larger-than-normal family for the average tiger.
这是在豹之地国家公园动物学家们接收到的东北虎的罕见画面。三只老虎被摄像机拍摄到了。他们一个接一个的走过镜头，一大两小，像一家人。
豹之地国家公园的研究员迪娜认为视频中是虎妈妈带着两只或三只的年轻男性幼崽。视频中的幼崽看上去年龄似乎是1.5-2岁。
但到目前为止，研究人员还不确定这只虎妈妈是否是中心里的母虎。更准确地说，他们需要深入分析所有来自同一地区的老虎的照片和视频才能得出结论。
In May 2014, an Amur tiger named Kuzya was released into the wild together with other tigers as part of efforts under the presidential programme for the conservation of rare animals.
The tiger is leaving the Amur River territory and heading south, to the area where the Jewish Autonomous Region borders the Khabarovsk Territory, a press statement from the regional department for wildlife conservation has reported. The two other tigers, Ilona and Boris, are inhabiting the territory where they were released, namely at the Zheludinsky and Andreyevsky wildlife preserves, only seldom leaving the protected areas.
The striped wild cats are monitored by Primorye specialists of the Tiger Special Inspectorate and game management specialists of the wildlife preserves. They say the animals got used to the new environment very fast and hunt small game, wild boars and roe deer. In September, Boris killed a bear.
Specialists monitor the 1.5-year-old tigers by obtaining data from special satellite collars attached to them. The devices are programmed in a way that allows the wild cats get rid of them in one year and live independently.
2014五月，一只名叫kuzya东北虎连同其他两只东北虎被释放到了野外，这是普金总统的珍稀动物保护计划中的一部分
kuzya离开阿穆尔河地区，向南进发，到达了犹太自治区接壤的哈巴罗夫斯克境内。其他两只老虎，伊洛娜和鲍里斯，他们的领地在zheludinsky和andreyevsky野生动物保护区
第一个重点：
九月份，鲍里斯杀死了一只熊。
第二个重点：
释放的时候差不多在1岁半，和他们差不多时间释放的另一只雄性叫 Ustin ，体重140kg（1岁半，140kg。。。）
