One of two Siberian tigers brought to Korea from China has died a few days after being moved to a mountain range in Bonghwa, North Gyeongsang Province.

“Geumgang,” 11, died of chronic renal failure on Feb. 3, nine days after being moved to Tiger Forest in the National Baekdu-daegan Arboretum, some 250 kilometers from Daejeon O World theme park in the city of Daejeon, according to the Korea Forest Service.

The animal did not eat and acted abnormally after the five-hour journey to the mountains, according to the Hankook Ilbo. O World allegedly did not know about the disease ― which the long journey reportedly worsened ― and Geumgang’s increasing distress aggravated by its isolated cage life in the theme park.

Geumgang and Duman, 15, from the Korea National Arboretum in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province, were moved to Bonghwa late last month. China gave Geumgang to Korea in 2011 and Duman in 2005.

Siberian tigers, also called Mt. Baekdu tigers, inhabit mountain areas across the North Korea-China border. They are known for their pure lineage.

The two tigers released in Bonghwa were expected to roam the Baekdu-daegan, which is a mountain range stretching from Mt. Baekdu in North Korea to Mt. Jiri in the South. It is referred to as the Korean Peninsula’s spine.

The last Siberian tiger in Korea was hunted in 1921, in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province.
