Deer bred as food for rare tigers
Print Edition
A DEER breeding center at a nature reserve in northeast China is being used to provide food for endangered Siberian tigers.
Fifty-five spotted deer at the center at the Wangqing nature reserve in Jilin Province will be freed after being taught to survive in the wild.
The center is a joint project between the World Wildlife Fund and the Jilin government.
Red deer and other prey for Siberian tigers and Amur leopards will be bred at the center. Both species are endangered.
Siberian tigers, also known as Amur or Manchurian tigers, mainly live in east Russia, northeast China and northern parts of the Korean Peninsula.
Fewer than 500 Siberian tigers are believed to survive in the wild, with an estimated 18 to 22 in China. Worldwide, there are less than 60 Amur leopards.
