Huwa, a male Siberian tiger, lives in the Huangnihe National Nature Reserve in Jilin Province, where zhanshan has been king for 7 years.
Tiger baby in the reserve life is very dashing, the forest area of wild boar, deer, silly roe deer many, carnivores and fewer carnivores, tiger baby does not have to worry about hunting things, plenty of food also developed its picky character, sometimes hard-earned prey to eat half of it and leave, life is very comfortable.
However, local rangers found that the tiger baby's tracks were becoming more and more difficult to see, and even once it actually ran to the edge of the city in Jilin City, very close to the human gathering place. It should be known that wild Siberian tigers have a natural fear of humans, and they rarely take the initiative to approach humans, let alone close to cities.
After careful study, rangers and local experts believe that Tiger Baby should have reached the estrus period and wanted to find a "wife". But unfortunately, there is only one tiger in the protected area where The Tiger Baby is located, and no other tigers have been involved in it for many years, and the Tiger Baby has lived in the local area for 7 years and has already matured sexually, but has never met her other half for many years.
Although the food here is plentiful, Tiger Baby does not have to worry about food, but Tiger Baby frequently tries to leave here. It is only because of the cutting of roads, farmland, and villages that the protected area where The Tiger Baby is located has become an isolated island, and it is difficult to contact the outside world.
In order to help Tiger Baby find his wife, the local government decided to build an ecological corridor for her to connect Tiger Baby with other Siberian tiger habitats so that Tiger Baby could find a wife.
In the last century, the Siberian tiger was devastated by the mistake of our country to classify the tiger as a "pest", but fortunately Russia is also the habitat of the Siberian tiger, where they lived for a while.
In recent years, our impression of tigers has changed dramatically, not only not hunting tigers, but also providing them with habitat, protecting their prey, and prohibiting people from hunting indiscriminately. Under such conditions, some Siberian tigers began to migrate back to China from Russia, and in recent years, China has repeatedly observed Siberian tigers that originally lived in Russia and settled in Our country.
For example, the tiger "Kuja" released by Putin leaves Russia from time to time to live in Our country, and our villagers have also observed that many tigers swim across the Ussuri River and come to China to forage for food.
In the process of the Siberian tiger returning to China, it is generally the male tiger who takes the lead, and the tiger mother will give birth to 1-4 small tigers in one child, of which the male tiger will behave bravely from an early age, and they are often the largest in the same baby tiger. But the tiger mother is particularly "female over male", when the baby tiger grows up to 2-3 years old, it will leave the home and go out to find its own habitat.
In general, male tigers will migrate to farther places to find habitat, for example, when "Wandashan No. 1" mistakenly breaks into the village, it has just left its mother to survive independently, because it is a male, in order to avoid the marriage of close relatives, it will often go to a hundred kilometers away to establish a habitat. The tigress will often establish a habitat next to the mother, and even some tigresses will divide some of their habitat to their daughters, and then compete with other tigers for territory and expand the habitat.
When the tigress's habitat is oversaturated, or when she is driven out of the habitat by other tigers, the tigress will also spread outward, at which point they may meet other male tigers who have returned to Our country and then jointly manage the mountain forest. As the saying goes, "one mountain does not allow two tigers", but in fact, the male tiger's habitat contains multiple female tigers, but the female tiger's habitat will not have other adult female tigers.
In the natural environment, tigers will continue to spread due to territorial, prey, the opposite sex and other reasons, so there will rarely be only one tiger in a protected area.
But the presence of humans has limited the tiger's ability to survive. Human-built villages, farmland and roads have cut tiger habitat into pieces, causing fragmentation of tiger habitat, which makes it difficult for tigers living in different regions to communicate genes. Just like tiger babies, it is difficult to find a wife.
In the long run, habitat fragmentation can lead to the continuous reproduction of tiger populations, and eventually extinction.
In order to protect the survival of tigers and to allow them to communicate their genes freely, over the years, China has continuously built ecological corridors to connect broken habitats.
The advantage of ecological corridors is that they do not occupy more land, plant trees and grasses on these lands, restore the original ecological environment, and wild animals can migrate to other habitats through this channel.
Ecological corridors are also good for humans, and wild animals can migrate along the ecological corridors without risking intrusion into the human environment, thus protecting the safety of human beings.
I believe that in the future, under the connection of the ecological corridor, Tiger Baby can hold the beauty back!
