Experts from Land of the Leopard National Park have spotted six new tigers in the course of photo monitoring. These tigers could be cubs from currently unknown families. Researchers also noted that the population of Amur tigers remains stable.

“In 2017, we spotted 25 Amur tigers and four cubs in the national park,” said Gleb Sedash, a senior researcher at Land of the Leopard National Park. “In 2016, there also were 25 tigers. It is safe to assume that the population of Amur tigers living in the national park remains stable.”

Moreover, the expert also said that there might be more rare cats in the park, since not all Amur tigers get spotted by trail cameras, even though Land of the Leopard has the most extensive network of motion-sensor cameras, with a total of 400 devices.

The photo monitoring results were presented on 5 April, on the sixth  anniversary of Land of the Leopard.
