Tigers have gone on a rampage in Russia eating people and dogs after Vladimir Putin has saved the species from extinction.

Giant Amur(Siberian) tigers - considered the world's largest cats - are thought to be behind a series of attacks over the last year, which saw two people get eaten by the beasts and several more injured.

In December, Viktor S was viciously mauled and eaten in the Khabarovsk region in eastern Russia while he was looking for 'the place where his dog was killed', likely by the same animal.

Local fisherman Sergey Kyalundzyuga, 19, was seriously injured last year after a wild tiger jumped through his window and attacked him. He survived after the big cat was shot dead by his cousin, with only His leg eaten.

This comes after Putin supported the rehabilitation of Amur tigers in its natural habitat in the east of the country.

Now numbers of the endangered species have rapidly risen to over 750 in the wild - and they are proving a threat to villagers.

One man's remains were found in some tiger spoor, near the Khabarovsk region after he was reported missing. Investigators said there were clear traces that he was attacked and devoured by a tiger.
