Saved in Primorye in mid -February, a half -year -old tigress, nicknamed Valentina, died of a general infection of the body from a trap, RIA Novosti reports.
Two half a year -old tigers left without a mother were deposited by hunting experts in the Kavalerovsky district in February with a difference of a week. The young tigress hit the poaching trap with a paw and she had to remove the two phalanx of her fingers. In addition, breaking out of the trap, she lost his fangs. In an extremely exhausted state, the animal was aimed at overexposing a huntingist in Ussuriysk. Here the little tigress received Valentine's nickname and reunited with her brother, caught a week later.
On March 7, it was reported that the young tigress actively recovering, demonstrates excellent appetite and gains weight. However, after some time, the animal became worse. Experts suspected a viral disease, but in the end the diagnosis was not confirmed. After Valentine died, the autopsy showed that the cause of death was a common sepsis, which led to the edema of the lungs.
There were not two, but three or three or three. However, the third hunters could not be saved. There is reason to believe that the third tiger is a victim of poachers. After several days of tracking the animal, hunting experts found blood in the snow, traces of dragging and car, from which we can conclude that the tigerok was caught by poachers.
The last survivor from the trinity of Tigerok was transported to the rehabilitation center in Alekseevka. He is very active and feels good.
This is the second case of the death of the saved tiger in Primorye in a month. In early March, despite the efforts of the veterinarians, an adult Amur Tiger died of exhaustion , who fell into a trap in the end of February, but saved by hunting experts. The tiger wandered through the forest with a trap on his paw for several days. The beast was caught, removed the trap and operated on, but due to the fact that before that he could not hunt for a long time, the beast eventually died of exhaustion.
