Employees of "Land of the Leopard" found that the entry was made in the national park, and to understand the reasons "original" animal behavior.

About this tigress, check this out:
Land of the Leopard Park visitors meet Amur tiger 1 July 2015 An Amur tigress was spotted standing on a path in the Land of the Leopard National Park in the Primorye Territory. Visitors to the park made a video. The tigress was spotted on a forest path leading to a Land of the Leopard cordon. The visitors, residents of the Khasansky District, who first met a tiger, were surprised by its calm behavior. She did not leave the path despite the loud music coming from their car. “The tigress’s reaction to vehicles is quite normal and characteristic not only of tigers but also other animals. Park employees have repeatedly seen dappled deer and even leopards who watched cars but did not run away. The fact is that animals do not perceive cars as living creatures. Possibly, animals have got accustomed to metal around them. There are plenty of metal structures on the park territory, left from the military,” Yelena Salmanova, Land of the Leopard deputy director for science, said. The eyewitnesses said that as they became tired of waiting they approached the tigress in the car. When the tigress saw humans through the windshield she roared and left. Park employees found out that several days before, the tigress had been hunting wild boars not far from the place of the encounter. “Thanks to the effective protection of the national park, animals are not afraid of vehicles. However, the moment they see a living creature in a car they are scared. This is why the tigress did not regard the car as a threat but when she saw a person there she beat a retreat,” Salmanova said. The visitors to the park behaved correctly when they saw the tigress. For safety considerations, people should not leave the car, while indicating their presence to an animal with loud music, signals or eye contact. According to the latest count, there are about 30 Amur tigers in the Land of the Leopard. Source: http://programmes.putin.kremlin.ru/en/tiger/news/25108#
For those that love comparisons, here is an image with the largest skulls recorded for the Amur tiger:
 *This image is copyright of its original author Check that the wild skulls are more massive than that of the captive specimen from Bone Clones, despite that is longer than that of Mazák. The reported condylobasal length of c.351 cm for an Amur tiger skull correspond to a c.390 cm long skull, which suggest that the condylobasal length of the Chanwangshai skull could have been slightly larger at c.361 cm (using a ratio of 0.89, based in 13 skulls).

Cinderella is a story of success. She is now a fully grow female, easy recognizable by its short tail.
She is a perfect example that human intervention is critical in the survival of the tiger. Nature can't do it alone, humanity cause this, now humanity most make its best effort to change the tide.

Edit: I just re-read this "humanity cause this, now humanity most make its best effort to change the tide." Agreed I think a good debate could be "Is the world better off without human beings?" or "Is survival of the fittest actually a bad thing? May be the reason why so many planets are barren is because life takes to much?" Just a random thought I got now when I was thinking about that statement above. A little off topic, but made me wonder.
Here is another image of tigress Illona, Who is known for regularly preying on wolf. An Image in which you can see the remains of dead body of a wolf killed by Amur tigress Illona

Amur tiger's upper canine tooth over 6 inches long, and the root part looks very thick, so it might belong to a captive specimen.

No idea, but it is obviously a large male, no less than 200 kg. Interestingly that in resent years, males in the area are closer than this figure than in the past.

I know angles make everything in a single photo, but man oh man, this tigers head and paws are something out of this world. I wish we could know more about him. |
