Recommended Posts

One of world’s largest and rarest big cats was reintroduced to nature just over a year ago.

The three year old male Amur tiger called Pavlik was shot by unknown poachers. Some local media reports also suggested its head and paws were severed.

The tiger had a GPS-collar after it was reintroduced back to the wild, its signal was constantly monitored by a group of scientists. 

On 8 September the signal went missing, prompting an immediate search by a group of wildlife protection experts. 

On 23 September Pavlik’s body was found. It was confirmed that the poacher, or the poachers, tried and failed to remove the collar after shooting the rare animal.
