Winter's victims
Winter's victims Nearly 80 per cent of Siberia's rare Amur tiger
cubs born this year have died. The severe winter left their parents
too weak to hunt, and also killed many deer - one of their main
food sources. It is believed that only around 300 of the Amur
tigers are left alive. MARCH 24, 2001
