Two young tigresses that are currently undergoing rehabilitation at the Tiger Centre are feeling perfectly well. Rehabilitation centre experts say that the predators behave as they should and will probably be released into the wild in the spring of 2019.

At the moment, they live in an enclosure with their mother, who, as the Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources allows, will soon be transferred to a zoo. A study showed that the tigress cannot be released into the wild because she has a motor coordination disorder as a result of an injury or disease; she will not be able to survive in the wild and will again come to the people.

“As much as many would like otherwise, the experts decided to not sacrifice the tigress. With her injury, she can only live in captivity. We hope that she will get used to her new home and will have a new litter here,” said Sergei Aramilev, general director of the Amur Tiger Centre.
