One of the ten most endangered subspecies of the planet and was extinguished in the Asian country in times of former leader Mao Zedong, were spotted in central China, out of their habitat. According to state news agency Xinhua, several farmers in the central province of Shaanxi saw a large sample of more than two meters in June.

A team of 30 zoologists Northwest China University led by Professor Liu Shifeng has tracked the forest districts and Pingli Zhenping since and says he found traces of these animals, of which only 68 survive in captivity and less 30 in freedom in China.

“We’ve seen their tracks, we heard the roar and talked with farmers who have seen them,” said Liu, who explained that they had found traces of 15 centimeters in length and width of one meter intervals that can not be of leopards and other cats in the region. “All indications are that South China tigers roam these forests,” he said.

Also known as Amoy tiger (Panthera tigris amoyensis) was considered by the late communist leader Mao Zedong as a “pest” to kill in 1959 to develop agriculture, when there were still 4 000 specimens of this species in the Asian country .

Its natural habitat was the wet forests of southern and eastern China (Guangdong province, Guangxi Zhuang, Hunan and Jiangxi) and he gave late in 1994, so its discovery in Shaanxi is unusual.

Zoo experts have begun to preserve Canton cells of the tiger to avoid extinction.

Zoologists consider the Amoy tiger, characterized by their orange coat and dimensions up to 2.45 meters in length and 170 kilos of weight, as the primitive species from which evolved, for example, the Siberian tiger, and is one of the 10 animals with more endangered species on the planet.
