EntertainmentChinese artificial insemination for Siberian tigers
On January 13, Chinese zoologists first conducted artificial insemination for a 4-year-old Siberian tiger to save this rare animal from extinction.
Sperm is taken from a 7-year-old healthy male tiger. Scientists hope this female tiger will conceive and give birth to healthy baby cubs.
The center director - Wang Ligang - said artificial insemination and DNA testing could help protect Siberian tigers better, and scientists would not need to transport a tiger away just to find it mate you mate.
Scientists also plan to establish a gene bank for Siberian tigers over the next three years to ensure genetic diversity for the species.
The Siberian Tiger is one of the 10 most endangered species in the world, living mainly in northeastern China and Russia's Far East. The population of this species in the wild world is estimated at only about 400.
