Amur tiger, leopard populations thrive thanks to conservation efforts

An Amur tigress in Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park has given birth to five cubs across two litters within two years, park rangers confirmed.

The growing family reflects a broader recovery of Amur tigers and leopards in the park, where populations are not only increasing but also expanding deeper into the park's interior.

A recently captured video of a mother tiger with her two cubs in the core area of the park has drawn significant attention from monitoring staff. After careful comparison and identification, the two cubs were confirmed as newly born tigers, previously unrecorded in the park.

Their mother, known as "003F" in the park's household registration archive, is a long-term resident with a well-documented territory and family history. She is also the mother of the famous "Hu Niu," a tigress widely known for her frequent appearances near National Highway 331.
