Camera traps in China capture first-ever footage of Amur tigress with five cubs

/ By Spoorthy Raman /

Camera traps installed in the world’s largest tiger reserve, in China, have captured footage of an Amur tigress and her five cubs for the first time.

Recorded in November 2025, the footage from Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park shows an adult tigress ambling along a dirt road, and four young cubs tootling behind her. After a few seconds, as two of the cubs pause to sniff what looks like a stone, a fifth tries to catch up with the rest of the family.

Scientists say they believe the tigress is about 9 years old (tigers typically live for about 10-15 years in the wild), and the cubs are about 6-8 months old.

We do love snails.

Peru’s Río Abiseo park yields new marsupial, hinting at more undiscovered species. We just hope they are protected forever.

Peru’s Río Abiseo park yields new marsupial, hinting at more undiscovered species

/ By Yvette Sierra Praeli /

Brazilian researcher Silvia Pavan organized an expedition to a remote protected area in the Peruvian Amazon to search for a species of squirrel last observed 30 years ago.

During the expedition, the team discovered a new species of mouse opossum, a type of marsupial, which they named Marmosa chachapoya.

This new species is distinguished by its reddish-brown fur, yellow-grayish belly, and long, narrow face.

The eastern Andes of Peru is notable for its high endemism, but remains largely understudied, researchers say.

I've just returned from India and spent a bit of time at Tathastu Resorts, Bandhavgarh. A full board nature lodge near Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve.

So far, it was my favourite region and my favourite resort; with incredible staff, yummy food, a super knowledgeable naturalist on-site (who you can hire to join you on safari or a birdwatching walk etc.), wild safaris and an outdoor shower (with langur visitors!).
You can organise your safaris in advance (to secure your spot) when booking.
Here's a snap shot.

No tiger sightings this time, but I'm going back in February for a week there.
It was beautiful and I highly recommend it.
