On January 11th 2013, a 6-7-month-old female tiger cub named Svetlaya (Bright) underwent surgery at Utyos Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre. Only a day ago the young animal was rescued close to Svetlogorye village in the Russian Far East. The cub was reportedly extremely emaciated. Its right foreleg was injured after being caught in an illegal leg-hold trap. There were two lacerated wounds on its right foreleg with serious soft tissue injures. Finger bones were also traumatized. Vets put 27 stitches during a surgery. Now, the animal is kept under careful observation by Centre’s caretakers. We hope that the cub will completely recover after the surgery very soon.
