The Siberian tiger is found in and near forests in the Amur-Ussuri region of Siberia, Northern China and Korea.
The Siberian tiger is yellow, black and white. The male can grow to be from 9-12 ft. from head to tip of tail and weigh from 400-650 lbs. A males' height is 3 1/2 ft. standing on hind legs. The female is much smaller.
The Siberian tigers' shelter is anywhere they can find a place. Sometimes they take whatever they can get, even if they have to take it from another animal.
The Siberian tigers' diet is deer, boar, elk, lynx, and bear. They also eat smaller prey such as fish, rabbits, and hares. To get their food they hunt. One Siberian tiger traveled 620 miles in 22 days in search of food.
Some interesting facts I picked up were that Siberian tigers are capable of dragging prey that would take more then one dozen to move. The Siberian tiger needs to eat over 20 pounds of meat a day to sustain itself in the cold climate, it is capable of eating over 100 pounds in one setting. The heaviest Siberian tiger on record weighed 850 lbs. To escape the unwanted attention of flies, breeding tigers often mate in the water. At six months cubs often accompany their mothers on hunting trips. The fearsome jaws of the Siberian tiger bring instant death to its prey. During the harsh Siberian winter the tigers' coat loses some color. This helps them blend in with its snow-covered habitat.
The Siberian tiger is an endangered animal subspecies. It is estimated that there are no more then 200 of these animals left in the wild. There are probably nearly as many Siberian tigers in captivity as there are roaming free. Related Species: In all there were 8 subspecies of related tiger, Of these 3 are extinct and the remaining 5 are endangered.
