An entire family or Amur Siberian tigers was recently captured on film via a camera trap set up by the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Russia Program — in partnership with the Sikhote-Alin Biosphere Reserve and Udegeiskaya Legenda National Park.<\/p>\n
The images mark the first time that an adult male, an adult female, and cubs (in this case 3 of them), have been documented to show this behavior — adult males generally don’t (or are thought not to) participate much in the raising of offspring, and are generally solitary.<\/p>\n
WCS Russia Director Dr Dale Miquelle stated: “Although WCS’s George Schaller documented sporadic familial groups of Bengal<\/a> tigers as early as the 1960s, this is the first time such behavior has been photographed for Amur Siberian tigers in the wild. These photos provide a small vignette of social interactions of Amur tigers, and provide an evocative snapshot of life in the wild for these magnificent animals.”<\/p>\n![\"image\"](\"http:\/\/planetsave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image10-e1426466811211.jpg\")
