STORYLINE:
This female Amur tiger was supposed to be a majestic predator roaming the forests of Russia's Far East.
But in December 2021, she was found severely wounded in Primorsky Krai with a shattered lower jaw and a severed tail.
After undergoing several surgeries, she was transferred to Moscow Zoo's Center for Rare Animal Species Reproduction in August 2022, where she received specialized care and rehabilitation.
