Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future.

very nice. which loaction is this leopard national park?
Land of the Leopard National Park was mainly established to protect the highly endangered Amur leopards in Russian far east. It covers an area of 1011 square miles of core habitat in the southwest of Primorsky Province. It is said that it covers 60% of the remaining habitat of Amur leopards in the wild and probably support around 50 individual leopards in its core area. There are around 10 Amur tigers present in the park.
great video. By the way, the first and last scene is from the Kaziranga video, where several males feed on the dead rhino. Unfortunately the respective documentary can only be found in a low res version. Well, at least we have a part of the documentay in better res now through this video. THX
Infrared video footage of Amur tigers in the wild in China has been captured in the Wangqing Nature Reserve.
The WWF footage is significant because the location of the cubs - 30 kilometres from the Russian border - means they must have been raised in China.
Wildlife experts have said this could show that the endangered species is making a comeback and that the Amur tiger population may even be restored one day.
John Barker, Head of India and China Programmes at WWF UK said the video is "pointing in every way that the tigers are actually breeding in China now".

Regarding the tigers which fought in Kanha, the bigger male is the Kingfisher male and the smaller male is the son of Pattewala.
Both males are said to be from Mukki range.

Pattewala's son was well known for his size and today to witness a male tiger even bigger than him, that's saying something.. these guys are like the Madla/Hairyfoot, B2/Bokha, Munna/Naak katta, Katezari/Gabbar, Wagdoh/Brokentooth and Jobhi/Bamera of this generation.
