TIGER BATTLE IN KHABAROVSK REGION ENDED WITH ONE PARTICIPANT DEATH

On February 18, near the village of Yuzhny in the Lazo area of the Khabarovsk Territory, the corpse of a young tiger was discovered, which most likely died from wounds received in a fight with a larger male. The corpse of the animal was submitted for examination to the Amur Tiger Center.

An external examination carried out by the employees of the hunting supervision of the Khabarovsk Territory at the scene showed the presence of numerous lacerations. Based on the tracks, including blood, left by the tiger, it was possible to establish an approximate picture of what happened in the forest.

A young tiger entered into a duel with a larger male, the size of its front paw print is 12.5 cm. The forces were not equal, and the winner left, and the loser, having received numerous wounds, remained on the battlefield. A few days later he came out on the road, where he died.

The corpse of a young tiger will be delivered for examination to the Amur Tiger Center. Specialists are yet to determine the exact cause of death.

“As we know, tiger cubs, entering adulthood, actively move around the range in search of their own territory. Such tigers are also called "transit". And, unfortunately, such tragedies can happen during wanderings: a young tiger in a duel with a larger male gets wounds that become fatal for the loser, - comments Sergey Aramilev , Director General of the Amur Tiger Center . “Specialists recorded the location of the tracks, traces of blood, “laying” and a large amount of wool, which quite clearly indicates the reasons for the death of the tiger. However, there are times when one of the tigers may be injured or injured, or weakened by illness, which determines the outcome of the fight. We will clarify these points in the course of the examination.”
