Just a quick reminder that the Vietnamese Crested Argus exists. Critically endangered and restricted to humid forests of Laos and Vietnam, it is widely considered to have a huge-ass tail.

Reintroduced Tiger Shows Positive Signs of Adaptation in Kazakhstan

A female Amur tiger named Umit, released into Kazakhstan’s Ile-Balkhash State Nature Reserve on 31 July 2026, is showing promising early signs of adapting to life in the wild.
The release marks the first return of a tiger to Kazakhstan’s wild after more than 70 years.

In the first 10 days after her release, Umit began hunting independently, successfully bringing down prey and demonstrating behaviour consistent with adapting to her new environment.

Her movements are being monitored daily using a GPS collar, allowing specialists to identify the areas she uses and conduct field checks to assess her behaviour and adaptation.

The reintroduction is part of Kazakhstan’s longer-term effort to restore a tiger population in the Ile-Balkhash region, where tigers disappeared more than seven decades ago. The programme also involves restoring the wider ecosystem needed to support a large predator, including its prey base.

While these are still early indicators, Umit’s successful hunting and independent movement provide encouraging signs for one of Central Asia’s most ambitious tiger restoration efforts.

In a historic wildlife conservation initiative, rare & endangered Sandy Brown horses which once roamed around Central Asia have been reintroduced in Kazakhstan after nearly 200 years. Przewalski horses named after the Russian geographer Nikolai Przewalski (who discovered them in the late 19th century) have been reintroduced in the Golden Steppe region of central Kazakhstan, a vast area of grassland and wetlands covering some 7,000 square kilometres.
