Siberian tigers leave traces in new areas
Print Edition
Footprints of wild Siberian tigers and remains of their prey have been found at a forestry plantation in northeast China鈥檚 Jilin province.
Sources at the Baishishan Forestry Bureau said it was the first time traces of wild Siberian tigers had been found within its administrative area.
On December 11, a ranger found several footprints, as well as traces of a large animal lying in the snow.
The bureau launched a search with more than 1,000 people from December 14 to 19 and found the remains of two wild boars. The larger boar was missing its internal organs, while the smaller boar was half-eaten.
Wu Zhigang, a research fellow with Jilin鈥檚 Institute of Forestry Sciences, said the population of wild Siberian tigers was on the rise and expanding their area.
Siberian tigers are among the world鈥檚 most endangered species. They mostly live in northeast China and eastern Russia.
