Having introduced the region and its tigers, Vaillant focuses on the dead Markov. Its paws are as big as dinner plates, while its teeth are about two inches long. It can weigh up to 600 pounds and measure six feet long from nose to tail tip. The Amur tiger has been described as an apex predator because it doesn’t need any other predators or prey it eats both wolves and bears with ease. Another animal that’s found in this region is the Amur tiger, which has evolved over time to survive in Arctic conditions and can also live comfortably in jungles. A species that is particularly dangerous because it preys on humans is the dhole, which belongs to the dog family. The Primorye is home to a large number of animals. Scientists have named this area the “Transbaikalian Province” because its longest river, Amur River, is also one of the world’s longest undammed rivers. Four separate bioregions meet in this region: taiga (Siberian forest), Mongolian steppe-lands, subtropical jungles and boreal forests of the Arctic circle. The human population there is desperately poor, but it’s rich in biodiversity. The Primorye region of Russia is a vast, sparsely populated area in the east of Russia that’s about the size of Washington state. The state’s wildlife organization was called in to investigate with scientific methods and local superstitions about tigers. An investigation showed that he had been attacked by a tiger, which is surprising because tigers rarely attack humans in the Primorye region of Russia unless provoked. He also talks about environmental issues which threaten these animals’ existence.Ī woodsman named Vladimir Markov was found dead outside his house. Alongside the story about this tiger, he also talks about the history of his region as well as how science has tried to deal with it. Vancouver-based American author John Vaillant’s non-fiction book The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival (2010) tells the true story of a man eating tiger that killed many people in Russia. 1-Page Summary of The Tiger Overall Summary
