The press service of the Amur Tiger Center reported that now the inspectors of the hunting supervision of the Amur Region and employees of the Khingan Reserve are monitoring the movement of the mother and baby.

Last year's winter count showed that a sufficient number of rare predators already live in the Amur Region. However, only now, after the presence of cubs is confirmed, can this region be considered a full-fledged part of the range.

According to experts, the tigress Elena, who lives in the Khingan Reserve, could become the mother of the baby. A young male has been noted on the site with her for a long time, so, perhaps, they played a "tiger wedding".

According to the second version, one of the "daughters" of tigresses from the neighboring Jewish Autonomous Region could bring offspring. The grouping of the Amur tiger there is constantly increasing, and young individuals leave their parental areas, setting off in search of their own territories. During such wanderings, it happens that females meet males.

According to the third version, one of the resident females of the Jewish Autonomous Region, for example, the tigress Philippa, moved to the Amur Region, hiding from anthropogenic factors. In her hunting area, which is located relatively close to the border with the Amur region, gold mining has recently begun.

Now experts have to examine the drops of blood that an adult predator left on one of the tracks. Scientists will genetically analyze the sample and compare it with those taken from Elena and Philippa before they were released into the wild.
