吉林一高校10公里处疑有老虎出没，多方回应！

The tracks were reported near Shajiagou Reservoir, about 10 km from the Zuojia campus of the university. The campus lies deep in the Zuojia Nature Reserve, surrounded by mountains and far from urban areas.

Zuojia town government staff said residents reported tiger tracks near the reservoir on Tuesday night. Officials immediately notified village and community leaders and posted warnings in local group chats. Town leaders and forestry station staff also inspected the area.

Residents were advised to limit outings, travel in groups when necessary, and stay indoors at night. "It is a wild animal, and we don't know where it came from. Northeast China is home to wild Amur tigers," an official said.

The Changyi District Forestry and Animal Husbandry Bureau said Shajiagou has not been a tiger habitat and no tiger traces had been reported there for decades. It warned that tigers can attack people and urged anyone who spots one to call police immediately.

吉林农业科技学院左家校区方面回应，发现老虎踪迹的地点距离学校约10公里，暂时不会对学校产生影响。目前校方已经加强保卫巡查，封闭了通往后山的大门，校园与后山之间原本就设有围挡，当前教学秩序一切正常。

The university said the tracks were found about 10 km from campus and posed no immediate threat. It has increased patrols, closed the gate to the rear mountain, and kept existing fencing between the campus and the mountain. Teaching remains normal.

据羊城晚报报道，东北虎在国内主要分布在吉林、黑龙江两省，由于野外缺少食物等原因，曾一度濒临灭绝。2017年，东北虎豹国家公园启动试点，并于2021年正式设立，为虎豹种群恢复提供了大范围、高质量的生存环境。

Amur tigers in China are mainly found in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces. Once near extinction due to a lack of wild prey and other factors, their numbers have recovered since the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park was piloted in 2017 and formally established in 2021. 

国家林草局最新公布的监测数据显示，近10年来，东北虎豹国家公园内，野生东北虎由2017年的27只增长至72只，野生东北豹由42只增长至115只。

Latest monitoring data from the National Forestry and Grassland Administration show that wild Amur tigers in the park rose from 27 in 2017 to 72, while Amur leopards rose from 42 to 115.

野生动物保护专家、科普作者杨毅解析，9月是东北虎扩散和巡猎范围扩大的时期，前几年繁殖的幼虎已经长大，会向外扩张寻找属于自己的新领地。

September is a period when Amur tigers expand their range. Young tigers born in recent years have grown up and are seeking new territories. 

同时夏秋交替时节，野猪、狍子等有蹄类动物开始集群迁移，山地中的食物分布变得分散，老虎为了储备过冬能量会扩大巡猎范围，因此更容易误入人类活动的边缘区域。

As summer turns to autumn, wild boar, roe deer and other ungulates begin migrating in groups, scattering food sources in the mountains. Tigers therefore roam farther to store energy for winter and are more likely to enter areas at the edge of human activity.

黑龙江省林业和草原局曾发布提醒称，与老虎狭路相逢时，可采取以下防御措施：

①保持镇静，不要背对虎，不要快速奔跑，这些行为都会激发虎的攻击欲望。

Stay calm. Do not turn your back or run. These actions can trigger an attack.

②正面与虎遭遇，但虎没有直接攻击，而是与人对视或发出低吼警告示威时，不要转身快跑，要正面虎，慢慢后退，离开虎视线后快速撤离。

If a tiger faces you but does not attack, only stares or growls, do not turn and run. Face it, back away slowly, and move quickly after it is out of sight.

③如果虎试图靠近并攻击，条件允许的情况下，可通过进入房屋、汽车或爬树爬到虎够不着的高度以躲避危害，在保证自身安全的前提下，可以通过点火的方式驱赶，也可以通过大声讲话、敲击金属制造噪音。

If a tiger tries to approach and attack, enter a house or car, or climb a tree if possible. If safe, try to scare it off with fire, loud shouting, or banging metal.

④如果虎攻击人后马上停止攻击，且受攻击的人尚未失去意识，建议卧倒静止，徒劳的反抗会将其激怒，适得其反。

If a tiger stops attacking and the victim is still conscious, lie still. Futile resistance may provoke it and make things worse.

⑤如果虎将人扑倒后继续攻击，应优先保护颈部，同时用任何可用的工具反击。

If a tiger knocks a person down and continues attacking, protect the neck first and fight back with any available tool.
