| Camera traps reveal Amur tiger breeding in NE China | |
| 2014 Cat News (61): 18-19 | |
Evidence of Amur tiger _Panthera tigris altaica_ reproduction in the wild is very scarce in China. A camera-trap record from 6 November 2013, outside Hunchun Nature Reserve in northeast China's Changbai Mountains, provided the first videotaped evidence of a female Amur tiger with 4 cubs in the wild. Such reproduction occurrence records give a promising sign that the tiger population is recovering in China and are key to the guidance of future transboundary conservation planning along the China- Russia border. |
