Amur Tigers

Great Soul of Siberia by Sooyong Park. 
After sundown, we pitched our tents by the stream and started a fire. Over dinner, Galina brought up a story about Khajain.
"We have a record of Khajain traveling ninety-two kilometers in fifteen hours. It was a coincidence that we were able to record it. A forest ranger in northern Lazovsky happened to pick up a fresh dropping, and the dogs confirmed that it was Khajain's. But then the next day, another forest ranger from southern Lazovsky brought in another fresh dropping, and it was also Khajain's. The elapsed time was fifteen hours. He'd managed to travel ninety-two kilometers in that time. 
It is very rare for tigers to move in a straight line so quickly. And even if the tiger really does it, it's difficult to measure the time and distance it travels. Tigers generally travel at a leisurely pace. If prey is abundant, the tiger stays for a while, but if it isn't, it leaves. There are many places tigers stop along the way - places to mark territory, places they've hunted before, places suitable for rest, the place they were born, and so on. Even if the tiger is traveling a mere ninety-two kilometers, the trip could take a month or two. Reply
