Camera traps have been set up at Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park to determine whether tigers have returned to the UNESCO heritage site after a local reported seeing one.

 

The park's management said Wednesday the cameras have been in position where a local reported seeing a tiger inside the park in the central Quang Binh Province.

 

When seeing the tiger, the person had freaked out, climbed a tree, and made some sounds to distract the animal, causing it to run away into the forest.

Interesting news, as this is a major tourism spot. Also the hikes that are available at the botanical gardens, could be considered as semi jungle, and the waterfall climb as well. This could pose a threat to tourists, especially those riding the Ho Chi Minh trail that runs through the park.
