The tracks of a Siberian tiger have been photographed at a nature reserve in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang province, that is far from the China-Russia border.
According to the provincial Forestry Bureau, the Siberian tiger, an adult male, weighs from 150 to 200 kilograms. Paw prints of the tiger were photographed on Thursday at the Xiaobeihu National Nature Reserve, which connects the world's two largest Siberian tiger habitats.
Guan Yun, director of the bureau's Protection Department, said that finding the Siberian tiger in the reserve indicates that the endangered species living in the wild of China's inland area is making a comeback.
