When the Siberian Tiger is called "Big Hakimi"...

Erbin has become really popular recently! The hospitable Erbin people have also used all their best tricks to welcome the "Southern Little Potatoes"! Frozen pears carved on a plate, an artificial moon, a symphony orchestra, flying horses on ice... It's really dazzling, with everything you can imagine!

In addition to the above, the "Northeast Golden Gradient" has also become popular this time. The "Northeast Golden Gradient" is also called "Mimi" or "Large Hakimi". Now let's take a good look at their cute appearance!

Smile and tilt my head to show my cuteness. I am a family with cuteness:

That’s right, the so-called “Big Hakimi” is one of China’s rare national treasures: the Siberian tiger .

The Siberian tiger is one of the largest cats in the world, distributed in northeastern Asia, and once ranged from the Russian Far East to the Korean Peninsula. In order to find food, they need a large space to move around. Each male Siberian tiger needs an average of 600-800 square kilometers of space, while a female needs 300-500 square kilometers. As the king of beasts, Siberian tigers hunt once a week on average. Their favorite food is ungulates such as red deer, sika deer, and roe deer.

There is also some little-known facts that I would like to share with you today.

Although Siberian tigers are highly solitary animals, they sometimes travel in groups, such as when they are in heat or when mother tigers are raising cubs. Moreover, these "big Hakimi" are masters of tree climbing. Although they rarely climb trees, it does not mean that they cannot do it! In addition to completing the "receiving customers" KPI, Siberian tigers know how to be social animals and love to drive pigs. People can't help but sigh: workers! Working spirit!

Finally, it is important to mention an exciting point, that is, Siberian tigers do not need a passport to go abroad, because the Siberian Tiger and Leopard National Park is the only national park that borders a neighboring country. To the east, it borders Russia's Leopard Land National Park. The vast majority of wild Siberian tigers in China live here, and from time to time, they cross the border. This place is also known as a world-class "species gene bank."

What is a National Park?

We mentioned above that the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park is known as a world-class "species gene bank", so what is a national park? In fact, the construction of a national park is a large project, including nature reserves, forest parks, geological parks, scenic spots, etc., which is in the name of "country" and carries the mission of protecting the ecosystem. As an important type of nature reserve, national parks have appeared in human history for more than 150 years.

As a large country with a long history and rich landforms, the establishment of "Chinese National Parks" can be described as "national selection". At present, according to the four "selection principles" of the most important natural ecosystem, the most unique natural landscape, the most essential natural heritage, and the richest biodiversity, my country has established five major national parks and five pilot national parks, and plans to build the world's largest national park system.

In addition to the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park, China's national parks include: the Giant Panda National Park , the habitat of the country's top idol, the giant panda; the Sanjiangyuan National Park, the birthplace of Chinese civilization; the Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, China's largest continental island tropical rainforest ; and the Wuyishan National Park, which combines Taoism with natural beauty.

Why do we have national parks?

In the past, our main system of nature reserves was based on nature reserves. Although this approach has some effects, it also has some shortcomings in practice, such as multiple management, overlap, and the inability to protect enough habitats or ecosystem processes. So around 2017, the country proposed to establish a system of nature reserves based on national parks.

The differences of national parks are as follows: First, they are representative of the country. Second, they are larger in area, which can better protect some large-scale ecosystem processes and the connectivity of species habitats. It can be seen that national parks will provide more complete and scientific protection for my country's representative natural ecosystems on a "larger scale". I believe that under such protection, these lovely animals and plants will grow better and will not "lose their beauty"!
