Baekdu-san tiger, known as the largest tiger species on Earth in Russia [사진 출처 = 게티이미지뱅크]– The Baekdu-san tiger, known as the largest tiger species on the planet, is known to descend to Russian private houses and hunt. It is said that tigers hunt livestock more frequently than humans.
According to the tiger research group’Amur Tiger Center’, on the 18th (local time) earlier this month, a tiger from Baekdu Mountain attacked and killed a dog in a private house in a village in the Dalenechinsk region in the northern part of the Maritime Province. Local wildlife protection authorities have decided to capture the object, fearing further damage.
The Wildlife Conservation Authority recently announced that there have been a series of cases in which dogs raised in private houses were killed in the attack by a tiger from Baekdu in northern coastal regions. Accordingly, the protection authorities determined that a tiger from Baekdu Mountain repeatedly appeared in private houses and was hunting livestock.
In the Russian Far East, a tiger from Baekdu has been haunting in private houses and attacking livestock since last June. Two cows were raided on pastures in the Pozarski region in the northern part of the Maritime Sea, and farms were also raided in the vicinity of Anuyski National Park in Khabarovsk, killing a foal.
At the time, experts emphasized that it is not common for Baekdu-san tigers to appear in private houses, but they explained that there may be cases where there is a lack of prey in the habitat. Accordingly, the protection authorities decided to safely capture and protect the object to prevent damage to livestock.
The Baekdusan tiger is currently designated on the’Red List’ of the International Federation for Conservation of Nature, and is a species that must be protected internationally. Currently, the population is only about 600, of which 90% are known to live in the Maritime Province and Khabarovsk Province.
Meanwhile, according to the Russian Amur Tiger Center (hereinafter referred to as the Center), on the morning of the 6th, a Baekdu-san tiger was found dead after colliding with a car in operation on a road in the Nanaisky district of Khabarovsk.
