ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - A - THE TIGER (Panthera tigris)

A few days ago, the Amur Tiger Center posted some pictures on their VK page, showing the prey animals which are food for tigers.

In the Jewish Autonomous Region, brown bears are also hunted and eaten by tigers.

The African swine fever plague decimated the wild boar populations in Far East Russia. In the Leninsky district of the Jewish Autonomous Region, there was at least 10 outbreaks of the ASF plague officially recorded, in 2019, there was a mass shooting of wild boars to further stop the spread of the ASF plague. The primary food source of Amur tigers has almost been wiped out in some areas and districts.

However, other favourite prey items of the tigers, such as bears and deer, are there in those forests for the tigers to hunt and eat. In the JAO region, there are significantly more brown bears than Himalayan black bears, so in this particular region, its likely brown bears are killed and eaten by tigers more often than black bears.
