Amur tiger reminds to the villagers who is the master of the taiga
22 march 2011
A tiger had come to the seaside village Kievka twice in March. As a result, the villagers had lost three dogs. WWF Russia monitors the situation and reminds of the behavior rules in tiger areal.
It is of vital importance not to shoot at the Amur tiger. Not only because it could be charged as a crime against nature and prosecuted by law but also as it is dangerous both for humans and tiger itself. Self-control and composure are the main behavioral tactics when encounter a tiger.
