Central Asian tiger in Kazakhstan.
The Central Asian tiger is still found in Kazakhstan, there is information that the last tiger was killed in 1943, but this information is not accurate, and we hope that tigers still exist. But their number is so small that it is very difficult and almost impossible to meet them. Also, this predator is very secretive and therefore people do not see them.
