Filippa, the tigress released after rehabilitation into the Dichun Nature Sanctuary in the Jewish Autonomous Region, has demonstrated extremely good hunting skills.   

The tigress has been living in the wild for about six months, and, speaking of the Amur tigress’ hunting success, specialists from the Tiger Centre say that she has regular – every six to eight days – and diversified prey, including Himalayan bears, wolves, roe deer, boars and Manchurian wapitis, on her menu.   

Four-month-old Filippa came towards people in December 2015 as she was looking for food, but she was all but torn to pieces by dogs in the village of Filippovka. Land of the Leopard National Park staffers saved the tigress and sent her to the Tiger Centre for rehabilitation. In April 2017, the tigress was released into the wild in the Dichun Nature Sanctuary wearing a special GPS collar to help specialists keep track of her migration routes.
