Siberian tiger family caught on camera in NE China
A family of five wild Siberian tigers was caught by an infrared camera in Hunchun, northeast China’s Jilin Province.



Spotted in May last year, the mother tiger could be seen taking care of her four playful tiger cubs in the 50-second video, according to the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park.

The park covers two Chinese provinces and borders Russia and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. It covers an area of more than 1.46 million hectares.

China has intensified protection efforts for Siberian tigers, which led to rising numbers of the big cat. In 2018, three families of Siberian tigers were spotted in Hunchun alone, including seven tiger cubs.

Siberian tigers, otherwise known as Amur or Manchurian tigers, mainly live in eastern Russia, northeast China and the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.
By the end of 2017, at least 27 adult tigers and 42 Amur leopards had been reported to roam in Jilin Province, and their numbers are stable.
