A camera trap installed on the territory of the Bastak nature reserve in the Jewish Autonomous Region (JAO) captured the unusual behavior of the Amur tiger.

We managed to get a unique video from the camera, which is installed opposite the so-called marking object. The footage shows how the Amur tiger hugs a tree and rubs its muzzle against it. The strange behavior of the animal was explained in the reserve.

“This video clip shows a Bastak tiger exhibiting marking behavior by rubbing against a tree, leaving scent marks. The age of the male, according to the tiger's passport, was not determined, it was first recorded on November 29, 2016 in the vicinity of the town of Skalistae Sopka,” the reserve told the Ecology of Russia website.

During the year, tigers come to the place of "marking" several times. In total, three adult Amur tigers live on the territory of the Bastak Reserve: the male Bastak, the females Cinderella and Tala. There is also one tiger cub, which is only one and a half years old and its gender has not yet been determined.
