Perfluorooctanesulfonate and Related Fluorochemicals in the Amur Tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) from China

Environmental Science & Technology, 2008
Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are used in a variety of industrial applications. We tested the hypothesis that, in Amur tigers (Panthera tigris altaica), captivity in industrialized areas increases PFC levels, potentially presenting a health risk to these animals.

Behaviour change in Amur tigers Panthera tigris altaica after an enclosure move

Journal of Zoo and Aquarium Research, 2021
It can be challenging for zoological collections to provide captive animals with a habitat that meets all of their needs. The study of enclosures is therefore of paramount importance, with evaluation ensuring animals are housed in enclosures that meet the necessary welfare standards and provide adequate levels of enrichment.

Early pregnancy diagnosis of captive Amur tigers (Panthera tigris altaica)

Acta Ecologica Sinica, 2019
Abstract From January 2015 to February 2017, urine samples was collected from twelve captive female Amur tigers during both their mating (or receptive) periods and the first four weeks after mating at the Hengdaohezi Feline Breeding Center (FBC) in China. A radioimmunoassay was applied to determine the progesterone levels in the urine samples.

ACUTE LYMPHOCYTIC CHOLANGITIS AND LIVER FAILURE IN AN AMUR TIGER (PANTHERA TIGRIS ALTAICA)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2014
An adult male Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) with confirmed inflammatory bowel disease developed acute severe icterus, bilirubinuria, bilirubinemia, and elevated bile acids after a diet change. Liver biopsies showed moderate lymphoplasmacytic cholangiohepatitis (lymphocytic cholangitis).

Identifying ecological corridors for Amur tigers (Panthera tigris altaica) and Amur leopards (Panthera pardus orientalis)

Integrative Zoology, 2015
AbstractThe rapid explosion of human populations and the associated development of human‐dominated landscapes have drastically reduced and fragmented habitat for tigers (Panthera tigris) and leopards (Panthera pardus) across Asia, resulting in multiple small populations.

Simultaneous Occurrence of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma and Brunner's Gland Adenoma in a Siberian Tiger (Panthera tigris altaica)

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2015
We describe a case of pancreatic adenocarcinoma and Brunner's gland adenoma in an 18-year-old male Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) from the Ljubljana Zoo. The tiger was humanely destroyed due to weakness and progressive weight loss. Necropsy examination revealed a large, grey, predominantly necrotic mass replacing the major part of the ...

A comparison of reproductive parameters of female Amur tigers (Panthera tigris altaica) in the wild and captivity

Integrative Zoology, 2016
AbstractA healthy population of captive Amur tigers might assist recovery of the wild population in Northeast China if individuals were properly prepared and considered suitable for release in the wild. We analyzed the breeding records of 68 female Amur tigers from 1995 to 2010 in the Hengdaohezi Felid Breeding Center of China and compared the ...
