Northeast Network December 31 (Sun Dahai reporter Sun Xiaorui) On the 30 th, the reporter learned from the Tokyo Forestry Bureau of Heilongjiang Province that a case of a wild animal killing a horse occurred in the bureau, which was confirmed by the authoritative department to be the work of a wild Siberian tiger.
On the morning of December 30, the Senbao Brigade of the Public Security Bureau of Tokyo City Forestry District received an alarm from Xu Fengchun, a horse breeder at a management station in Er Station: a four-year-old mare was killed by an unknown wild animal, and it was suspected that it was the Northeast Tiger.
After receiving the police, the personnel of Senbao and Resources Department immediately rushed to the scene for investigation. Xu Fengchun’s horse pen is located in Lin Ban, No.51 Management Station, Er Station, far away from residential areas. In addition to regular feeding, more than 20 horses are raised to go up the mountain for food on weekdays.
According to Xu Fengchun, since November, I have found several large cat paw prints in many places around the stable, which are suspected to be the footprints of tigers. To this end, he also consulted the old people who had hunted around him. Everyone said that they had never seen a tiger before. On the evening of the 29th, he found that one of his horses was suddenly missing. At 10 o’clock the next morning, when looking for a horse on the hill southeast of the stable, I found the lost mare’s body lying in a dirt depression. The mare’s two hind legs are gone, weighing more than 100 kilograms.
After field investigation, it was found that the paw print length and width of this foreign "horse attacker" were about 12-15 cm. Investigators found some body hair and urine of "horse attackers" in the bushes near the mare’s body. Professor Jiang Guangshun from the Cat Center of the State Forestry Administration identified the image and initially confirmed that it was a wild Siberian tiger.
Since the implementation of the "Natural Forest Protection Project", the forest resources of Tokyo Forestry Bureau have been restored, and the number of animals such as black bears, deer, roe deer and wild boar has increased year by year. However, it is the first time that there is obvious evidence that the wild Siberian tiger preys. At present, local authorities are studying and formulating preliminary measures to ensure the safety of tigers and local residents.
