Russia captured the "Putin Tiger," which he claimed to have eaten fat and had entered China to attack the sheepfold

A representative of the Russian Natural Resources Utilization Supervision Agency said that the tiger was cut by barbed wire and needed treatment. In other respects, tigers look healthy and eat chubby.

Putin's tiger Ustin, who has been "willful" outside for nearly two months, was finally captured by Russia.

On December 29, russia satellite network said that a representative of the Natural Resources Utilization Supervision Agency of the Russian Far Eastern Federal District said that Russian hunting experts had captured Ustin and sent him to a rehabilitation center in Primorsky Krai.

A representative of Russia's Natural Resources Utilization Supervision Agency said the tiger was cut through barbed wire and needed treatment, most likely from injuries sustained during China's border crossing. In other respects, tigers look healthy and eat chubby.

On the afternoon of the 29th, Zhu Shibing, a doctor of wildlife conservation and utilization at Northeast Forestry University who is responsible for "following" the traces of Ustin's actions in China, told the surging news (www.thepaper.cn) that according to their surveillance, Ustin crossed the border on Black Blind Island in early December and returned to Russian territory. According to Zhu Shibing, there is a barbed wire fence about two meters high on the Black Blind Island to divide the boundary between China and Russia. But according to their surveillance, Ustin crossed the border by bypassing the barbed wire fence and walking back to Russia from the frozen Ussuri River, so the possibility of injuries during the crossing is very small. In the entire Heilongjiang region, china and Russia are mostly bounded by rivers, and there are not many barbed wire like this.

Just a day or two before Ustin crossed the border, Zhu Shibing, researchers, and the patrol team also witnessed and photographed Usjing's tracks. According to him, Ustin was in good health and was not injured.

Ustin has not been "safe" since entering China in early November, and its exposure frequency is much higher than that of kuja, the first "Putin tiger" to enter. Ustin not only attacked the sheepfold, but also abducted the watchdogs of his fellow villagers. On November 25, the Harbin Daily reported that Ustin had become the "busiest" Siberian tiger — crossing the Sino-Russian demarcation line on Black Blind Island several times a day. It has also approached the county seat of Fuyuan in Heilongjiang province, threatening the safety of residents, and local patrols have been armed with riot guns to defend against possible tiger attacks.
