Photos of the tigers circulated online and received wide attention from netizens, who compared the endangered big cats to orange tabby cats such as comic-strip character Garfield. Netizens questioned whether the captive tigers have been overfed by tourists at the park, the world's largest Siberian tiger breeding and field training center. Liu Dan, chief engineer at the park, said the tigers' obesity is a seasonal phenomena. "Some of tigers in the park look very chubby, but it has nothing to do with tourists feeding them. In fact, it is natural for these animals to devour more in order to adapt to acute weather conditions during the winter," he said. The weight of a male Siberian tiger, normally about 250 kilograms, increases by about 10 percent in winter, Liu said, adding that food intake for the big cats increases by about 30 percent to 6 to 8 kg daily. "When feeding them, we drop the food on the ground and let them fight for it. So some tigers get more food than others," Liu said. "The chubby tigers in the photos are less than 2 years old, so their rolls of fat are just like a child with baby fat." Liu added that with spring approaching, the park is cutting food supply to make sure the tigers are healthy during the mating season. "In addition, we guide them to do more exercise when dropping their food," he said. On Feb 23, tigers at the park were recorded chasing an exercise drone, with one tiger leaping into the air and striking the drone. Siberian tigers were once found throughout the Russian Far East, northern China and the Korean Peninsula. By the 1940s, hunting had driven the tiger to the brink of extinction - with no more than 40 individuals remaining in the wild. According to WWF, there are about 540 wild tigers around the world. From 2012 to 2014, at least 27 wild Siberian tigers were spotted in Northeast China. 森林之王在我们的悉心照料下变成了可爱的胖猫，是不是又为我们的生活增添了一丝色彩呢。 2。Water and soil pollution prevention in China to be heightened China is stepping up legislation on prevention of water and soil pollution as "water and soil pollution in some areas in China is very serious", Fu Ying, spokeswoman of the Fifth Session of the 12th National People's Congress, said on Saturday. At a news conference, Fu also called for public participation in the revision of the Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law, adopted in 2008, and in the formation of Soil Pollution Prevention and Control Law. In the past several years progress has been made in environmental protection in China, but it still falls far short of public expectations, and air pollution in particular is very serious in parts of China in winter, so persistence is needed, Fu said. The National People's Congress has conducted inspections on the enforcement of laws in environmental protection for the past four years, and revised the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law and Environmental Protection Law, she said. Last year the National People's Congress Standing Committee conducted inspections on the enforcement of the revised Environmental Protection Law, and found problems such as lack of supervision in law enforcement and lack of accessory law and regulations, she said. The committee demanded rectification and will get feedback in April, she said. The NPC will continue to improve legislation in environmental protection and supervision in implementation of laws, she said. 环境问题俨然成为中国发展的一大观，我们必须重视起来，认真检测。做好五好发展。
