The endangered Amur tiger (also known as the Baekdu Mountain Tiger) has been haunting in private houses in Russia to hunt livestock.
Local wildlife protection authorities have decided to capture the object for fear of further damage.
According to the tiger research group'Amur Tiger Center' (hereinafter referred to as the Center) on the 18th, an Amur tiger attacked and killed a dog in a private house in a village in the Dalenechinsk region in the northern part of the Maritime Province earlier this month.
Wildlife Conservation Authorities say there are a series of cases where dogs raised in private homes were killed in attack by the Amur tiger in various parts of the northern coastal region.
Based on this, wildlife conservation authorities estimate that an Amur tiger repeatedly appears in private houses and is hunting livestock.
Although the Amur Tiger did not attack and damage its residents, the center said that wildlife protection authorities have decided to safely capture the object to prevent further damage to livestock.
Once captured, the entity is protected in the center for a while.
This is not the first time in Russia's Far East an Amur tiger has been haunted in a private house and attacked livestock.
In early June, the Amur Tiger attacked two cows on the pastures of a village in the Pozarski region in the northern coast of the Maritime Province.
Around the same time, in the vicinity of Anuyski National Park in Khabarovsk, an Amur tiger seeking food attacked a horse farm and killed a foal.
At the time, experts stressed that it was not common for Amur tigers to appear in private houses.
However, he explained that it often occurs due to insufficient prey in the habitat.
Endangered by habitat destruction and reckless poaching, the Amur Tiger is currently designated on the'Red List' of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and is protected internationally.
The Amur tiger is known as the largest tiger species on the planet, and the number of Amur tigers is only 560 to 600, of which 90% live in the Maritime Province and Khabarovsk Province.
