Rare Malayan tiger spotted in Thailand’s Bang Lang National Park

[webfact]

 

The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) recently reported the sighting of a Malayan tiger in Yala‘s Bang Lang National Park. The news surfaced on the DNP‘s official Facebook page, revealing that the Malayan tiger is among several sub-species found in the southern border regions of Thailand and Malaysia.

 

Bang Lang National Park and Hala-Bala Wildlife Sanctuary are the only two locations in Thailand where Malayan tigers have been spotted. In contrast, the central and western regions of the country are home to the Indochinese tigers.

 

This recent spotting of the Malayan tiger, named Bang Lang 01, has been attributed to the Smart Patrol system. This innovative tracking and monitoring system has been implemented to safeguard wildlife and prevent any threats to protected forests.

Typical.  These Malayan tigers coming here, taking our Thai tigers' jobs.  I hope Immigration gets onto this quickly and deports it.
