World first...5 tigers cubs recorded in the wild in China

A world first...camera traps have filmed an Amur tigress with five (yes five!) cubs in northeast China. Wild Amur tigers typically give birth to one to four cubs, making five cubs an exceptionally rare occurrence even in regions with abundant prey. WWF-China is supporting the government to protect this area by removing snares and partnering with local communities to reduce human-wildlife conflict. China’s tiger population is estimated to be about 70 wild tigers, up from an all-time low of 20 individuals in 2010. Proving that even the most endangered species can recover. What a way to start 2026 ✨
