Amur Tigers

Great Soul of Siberia by Sooyong Park.
Tigers are solitary animals that don't enjoy the company of other tigers, yet here was proof that a group of them had frolicked on the sandbank by this clear river. My heart beat wildly. The river lay at the center of Bloody Mary's territory, which meant there was a good chance that the tigers were Bloody Mary's third litter. They weren't cubs anymore, but nearly fully grown tigers. 
And then I saw something strange on the ground. Fish tails were strewn about in the grass at the edge of the sandbank. I looked closer and saw they were Manchurian trout tails. I didn't see any heads or bones. It seemed the tigers has eaten the fish that had swum out to shallow waters to lay eggs. I'd heard rumors about tigers catching and eating fish, but this was the first evidence I'd seen with my own eyes. 
The best time for tigers to fish is in the fall when salmon and trout travel from the sea to the rivers to lay eggs. In September and October, bears gather along rivers to catch the fish. Tigers also come down to the river during this period for the salmon and the bears, although the bears are the tigers' primary target. Reply
