Because of this, the number of conflicting Red Book cats coming out to people has increased in the region.
Recall that a tiger caught in the Khabarovsk Territory, which for several months terrorized the inhabitants of the village of Dzhonka and the village of Innokentievka in the Khabarovsk Territory, recently died.
