CHANGCHUN, Dec. 27 (Xinhua) — A wild Manchurian (Amur) tigress and her five cubs were captured on infrared camera footage at the Manchurian Tiger and Amur Leopard National Park in northeast China, marking the country's first documented sighting of five cubs in the wild.
According to park authorities, infrared cameras captured a family of tigers in November.
It was then that park ranger Du Jiaxing, who was on duty, received a real-time alert from the infrared camera's built-in monitoring system about the approaching tigers. Opening a special app on his phone, he saw a slender female with distinct stripes walk past the camera, accompanied by five feisty cubs.
The man immediately sent out warning information to nearby villages and reported the matter to the relevant authorities.
The same tigers were later captured by another infrared camera in a different area.
The tigress, identified in the monitoring database as GH005F, likely gave birth to the cubs in June, said park administrator Duan Zhaogan.
As Duan Zhaogan noted, after consultations and investigations with foreign and domestic experts, it was determined that five wild Manchurian tiger cubs were captured simultaneously in China for the first time.
The Manchurian Tiger and Far Eastern Leopard National Park, created from 19 former nature reserves, was officially established in 2021. -0-
