China News Service, Harbin, April 26 (Reporter Wang Lin) On the 26th, the "4.23" wild Siberian tiger rescue work in Heilongjiang released a concentrated interview activity: The geographic location where the village-crazed Siberian tiger appeared is the hilly area of the southwest of Wandashan. The Heilongjiang Provincial Forestry and Grass Administration has reported to the National Forestry and Grass Administration of China to confirm the tiger's name as "Wandashan No. 1".
The adult wild Siberian tiger that broke into Linhu Village, Baiyuwan Town, Mishan City, Jixi, Heilongjiang Province on the 23rd was named "Wandashan No. 1".
At present, "Wandashan No. 1" has been transported to China Hengdaohezi Cat Breeding Center for further observation.
The tiger has no obvious trauma, weighs 450 kg, male, 2-3 years old, with good nutritional status and strong body.
At 13:00 on the 24th, "Wandashan No. 1" took the initiative to leave the transport cage and enter the tiger house. The quarantine area has 24 hours to monitor the tiger's activity status. Special personnel are responsible for feeding. Special animal inspection and quarantine departments are required to carry out the tiger for a period of time. After 45 days of quarantine and observation, and the daily diet, defecation, and roaring behaviors were recorded and observed, the tiger has now entered a normal state of activity.
I started eating at around 22:30 on the 25th. The food intake was about 3 kg and the drinking water was about 2500 ml.
I had a bowel movement early on the 26th.
Where did this Siberian tiger come from?
Zhang Minghai, director of the Cat Research Center of the National Forestry and Grass Administration of China and professor of the College of Wildlife and Natural Reserves of Northeast Forestry University, introduced: The tiger has been active in the Sino-Russian border area recently. It is not yet possible to conclude that it is from Russia. Accurate traceability requires China and Russia. Both parties jointly further verified.
Zhang Minghai said that which country the tiger came from is not the core issue. The core issue is how China and Russia can establish an effective cross-border protection mechanism to jointly protect the Siberian tiger, an endangered and rare species.
At present, the traceability of this Siberian tiger has been officially launched, and the results will be obtained soon.
The much-watched Siberian tiger in the village got its name "Wandashan No. 1", which originated from the geographical location where this tiger appeared in the hilly area of the southwest of Wandashan. Historically, it was the distribution area of the Siberian tiger. In recent years, this area There have also been traces of Siberian tigers nearby.
From the perspective of the construction of the Siberian tiger cross-border ecological corridor, the discovery of Siberian tigers in Mishan City is of great significance.
According to Zhang Minghai's analysis, there is one of the most important and urgently needed ecological corridors in the Sino-Russian cross-border Siberian tiger ecological corridor planning: Wanda Mountain East-Wanda Mountain West-Laoyeling North-Laoyeling South. If this ecological corridor can be restored, the large population of Siberian tigers in Sikhote Ali in Russia can be connected with the false road China of the small population in Leopard Park, so as to realize the channel of population genetic exchange.
