About Siberian tigers

Also known as the Amur tiger, the Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) is a subspecies of tiger found in the Russian far east. This subspecies represents one of the largest cats to have ever lived on Earth, with an average male body length of over six feet and a typical male weight of 475 pounds. Siberian tigers are distinquished from other large felids by an unusually large and heavily-reinforced skull. Primary prey for the Siberian tiger include deer, wild pigs, and a small proportion of moose.

In 2005, there was a breeding population of about 250 Amur tigers in the Russian far east, with an overall population of less than 400 and declining. Intense conservation efforts to preserve the Siberian tiger have been underway for more than 15 years.

The commonly-held belief that the Siberian tiger exists with a white coat, rather than orange or rusty colored fur, is false. Tigers with white coats are not a species or subspecies on their own...the white coloration is a mutation of the tiger's natural coloration. While white-coated tigers are bred in captivity in large numbers for sale to zoos and circus-style shows, the white coloration is extremely rare in wild tigers.

In 2005, there was a breeding population of about 250 Amur tigers in the Russian far east, with an overall population of less than 400 and declining. Intense conservation efforts to preserve the Siberian tiger have been underway for more than 15 years.

About Tigers

Although tigers (Panthera tigris) are so familar to us that we think they will be around forever, tigers are among the most seriously endangered of all animals. Three of the nine subspecies have already become extinct, and several of the six remaining are critically endangered. Tigers are the largest of the world's big cats. Their native habitats are in eastern and southern Asia. Tigers are carnivores, and are even feared by humans for their skill and natural tendencies as killers. They are heavy, well-muscled animals than can take down almost any prey they choose. But tigers are also a necessary part of any ecosystems in which they are found. It is important to remember that every part of the natural world plays its part. Not only are they feared, but they are to be admired. The tiger is certainly one of the most astonishingly beautiful animals on Earth, and one that has captivated human imaginations since the beginning of storytelling. Tigers may live 10 to 15 years in the wild, but can live over 20 years in captivity. The largest is the Siberian tiger, and the most numerous is the Bengal tiger. As odd as it may seem, many tigers swim and enjoy the water.
