Unique footage shows young tigress known as T61F (born in 2016) who brought her first litter of 3 on a lake outing. The group was recorded walking by the side of a lake, a well known watering hole for deer, in the Land of the Leopard nature reserve in the Far East of Russia.

‘It is only logical to see tigers at this site, as usually there is are a lot of deer by the water. Although they are the basis of Amur tigers' diet, this was unlikely a hunting trip’, said Victor Storozhuk from the Science Department of the reserve.
‘The tigers’ fur is visibly wet. So they were having a bath, sadly out of the camera’s view. This is the first time the tigers were filmed by the lake, and as a family,’ he added.



The next tiger census in Russia will be held in winter 2021-2022.
