Saikhan tiger traveled to China. Fat Amur tigers: something strange is happening in the Chinese nature reserve Fat tigers in the zoo of China
Pictures of the fat ones Amur tigers from Chinese natural park Harbin provinces are hugely popular on the Web. Why? Because everyone loves cats. And the mustachioed-striped ones do not look like wild animals just like cats. Fat, lazy, domestic!
Many joke that tigers ate too much during the Chinese New Year holidays. Others compare them with grandchildren, to whom their grandmother came to visit. But in this case, even a grandmother would have noted that her grandchildren are slightly out of shape.
Also, many are worried about the health of huge predators. However, the zoo staff assures that the dangers for giant cats excess weight does not carry. It's kind of defense mechanism from the harsh Far Eastern winter. Tigers, like bears, specially eat up for the cold so as not to freeze so much and always have a supply of energy. And the tiger park in China is trying to recreate it precisely natural conditions with frosts down to -20 degrees. True, biologists did not take into account the situation that cats in captivity move less, so they urgently put them on a diet. The beauty and shape of the animals are promised to be returned by summer.

Now the park is home to approximately 800 endangered individuals. In conditions wildlife only 500 Amur tigers remain - mostly in Russia.
MASTER QUOTE
Someone will ask the question: "Why save a tiger or some kind of shelduck? Is the existence of hundreds of animals in the Ussuri forest so important for a person?"
Yes, very important! It is important because any kind of animal - a giraffe, a mouse or a stork - is a unique creation of nature, with mysteries of behavior, with its own lifestyle and body structure. You can recreate a lost car, restore a house, a factory, a city, restore a monument according to the descriptions. It is impossible to construct a lost animal again! In his likeness, only plush and nylon toys can be made ...
To see a school of flying cranes in spring; hear the singing of nightingales, quails, cuckoos; accidentally frighten off an elk in the forest and know that somewhere in the Ussuri taiga a living, and not a plush, tiger is walking - this is a great joy of life!
We must fight for this joy before it's too late.

Amur tigers living in a zoo in the Chinese city of Harbin have gained a lot of weight, which visitors could not help but notice. The fat animals became less mobile, and most of the time they spend in a supine position. Zoo staff noted that weight gain is associated with the winter period, when many animals put on weight. According to them, by spring, predators should return to their usual form. Quite a different opinion on this international organization animal welfare Born Free Foundation, where they believe that tigers urgently need help.
According to Born Free Foundation president Will Travers, being overweight is the result of malnutrition, bad attitudes and difficult living conditions. According to visitors, the tigers have grown fat because they are often fed by tourists, and writer and traveler Jared Salem (Jarryd Salem) noted that at this zoo, which contains about 800 Amur tigers, the employees themselves overfeed the animals with chicken, goat meat and beef. .

Photos of noticeably plump Amur tigers from the Harbin Zoo in northeastern China have appeared online. On social media, fat animals waddling lazily from side to side have almost become a new meme, but some animal rights activists are concerned about their condition.
In the pictures, the tigers look very unusual: some have become so fat that it seems they cannot even rise from the ground.
Many social media users laughed at the photos.
« When I die, I hope to return to this world as a fat tiger."
« I would probably be a fucking wild animal, just like that fat tiger."
According to the zoo staff, fat tigers in winter are normal. Animals are specially increased daily ration so that they can more easily survive the cold months, by spring, cats should lose weight.
Despite this, one of the largest animal rights organizations, the Born Free Foundation, suggests that tigers have serious health problems.
Will Travers, president of the organization, told the publication that fattening tigers in the winter is absolutely pointless and even harms the animals.
Judging by the photographs, the tigers are at the stage of obesity, this is an indicator of an inappropriate and unnatural diet. This also suggests that the animals did not have the opportunity to behave in the same way as in the wild. I don't think it's funny or cute. These animals are sick.
