The appearance of the tigress Zlata in the Khabarovsk forests was associated with the search for a groom

Inspectors of the Bolshekhekhtsirsky Nature Reserve found fresh tiger tracks after a recent snowfall. Experts of the "Protected Amur Region" suggest that the tracks belong to the tigress Zlata. They saw the characteristic features and estimated the size of the paw.

As he writes IA AmurMedia, traces were found on the ecotrope "Zapovedny Khekhtsir". The predator left marks that may indicate readiness for mating. She tore through the snow, ruffled the leaves and rubbed against the trees, trying to leave her scent. Experts are sure that all this may indicate that the tigress is looking for a male.

In 2024, camera traps captured Zlata without cubs. It is possible that her potential partner may be tiger Odyr. These assumptions should be confirmed by further observations of the tigress' behavior.

Earlier it was reported that veterinarians have decided not to release into the wild a tigress that was caught in Dalnerechensk Primorsky Krai. The decision was made based on the results of examinations, which showed that the predator weighs less than the norm.
