Dramatic Footage Captures The Moment When The World’s Rarest Tiger Regains Freedom

Endangered Amur tigers or Siberian tigers are one of the most majestic animals in the world. Thanks to efforts of the Russian government, their numbers are increasing, but still there is only about 500 individuals left in the world.

This big boy was identified as a “conflict tiger”, known for attacking livestock in a prey depleted area, but instead of sentencing him for a life in captivity, the crew decided to give him the second chance in his natural habitat – Russia’s Far East. The emotional release of this epic beast serves as a reminder of how gorgeous Amur tigers really are.
