Abstract

Since 2013 tigers have started to appear again on the Khekhtsir Ridge after disappearing in 2007. At present two individuals (male and presumably female) are known for sure to live there. First in 2013 a male explored the Maly Khekhtsir Ridge and then in 2014 already two tigers expanded their range to the Bol’shoi Khekhtsir. It was found out that the male tiger came to Khekhtsir from the Obor River basin. The 2013-2014 records of tiger at the Khekhtsir Ridge probably make an evidence of recovery process in the Khekhtsir territorial group of tigers.
