This video showcases tigers filmed by the public in various locations across Primorsky Krai, Russia, during May-June 2024. The tigers are frequently spotted along roads and railways, as these are easier paths through their dense forest habitats and often cut through their home ranges. Unlike the bears in the region, tigers are frequently spotted watching cars and seem drawn to human activity, highlighting their inquisitive nature.
The increased sightings are due to a growing tiger population, greater human activity, and the widespread use of filming devices. While these encounters offer fascinating insights into tiger behaviour these close interactions pose new risks for both tigers and humans with many northern communities becoming increasingly concerned.
