- Would you be able to find a bit more about the length and weight of the young Amur tigers released last year? Ustin most probably was measured again when it was decided to move him to Rostov.

- One tigress avoided an encounter with a big bear following his nose, but tiger Boris, who faced a youngish bear interested in his wild boar, did not. We know Boris killed his opponent, but there were no details. Has anything been published about the encounter?

- Some time ago, a paper was published about the Aldrich-footsnare used to capture Amur tigers. Was the method used to capture tigers changed after the paper was published? 

See what you can find out and thanks in advance.

2) tiger  Boris  killed  two brown bears,two year old and three year old (details not reported)

" Самец по кличке Кузя в первые дни на свободе сместился в район реки Урил Архаринского района. Он задавил крупного самца кабана: обнаружены следы жесткой схватки. Четверо суток кормился, не оставляя добычу. "
"В конце августа Боря задавил трехгодовалого медведя. Илона в начале сентября на мари догнала и съела взрослого волка."
Tiger Kuzma kills  large male  boar: traces of tough fights. Four days to feed, leaving the prey.
In late august,tiger Boris killed the three-year old bear . Ilona in early September on the marsh caught and ate an adult wolf.
