A*tiger released into*the wild this spring by*Russian President Vladimir Putin seems to*have struggled to*find food and*has crossed the*border into*China in*search of*nutrition, a*news report said.
The*tiger, named Kuzya, was tagged with a*satellite tracking collar when Putin released it from*an animal-care center in*May. The*young tiger spent summer in*the Far Eastern Amur region, where it was released, before migrating to*the Jewish autonomous region in*September, and*finally swimming across the*Amur river into*China this weekend, Novaya Gazeta news site reported.
However, environmentalists are worried that the*endangered animal may run into*danger in*the southern Chinese provinces, where villagers are known to*hunt down tigers for*preying on*their livestock, an*official from*Russia's nature watchdog was quoted as saying.
Novaya Gazeta speculated that Russia's Foreign Ministry may have to*notify Chinese officials about the*immigration by*"President Putin's tiger," but it remained unclear whether any warning would come in*time to*protect the*animal.
Kuzya was released into*the wild by*Putin along with two other young tigers, named Borya and*Ilona*— all orphans that had been rescued and*placed in*a care center as part of*the efforts to*preserve the*endangered Amur tiger population.
The*Amur tiger is a*highly endangered species, with its total population estimated at*about 400, most of*them inhabiting the*Russian Far East.
About 3-5 of*the tigers live in*the Jewish autonomous region*— most of*them orphaned animals that have been raised by*humans and*released back into*the wild as part of*the presidential "Amur Tiger" program, Novaya Gazeta reported.
