« click photo to enlargeThe Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica), also known as the Amur, Manchurian, Altaic, Korean or North China tiger, is confined to the Amur-Ussuri region of Primorsky Krai and Khabarovsk Krai in far eastern Siberia, where it is now protected. The last two censuses (1996 and 2005) found 450–500 Amur tigers within their single, and more or less continuous, range making it one of the largest undivided tiger populations in the world.
The Siberian Tiger is one of nine subspecies of tiger, three of which are now extinct.
Physical Characteristics of the Siberian Tiger
Male Siberian tigers weigh between 180 and 306 kg on average, whereas females are smaller, at 100-167 kg. Lengths for Siberian tigers range between 2.7 and 3.3 m for males and 2.4 and 2.75 for females. As animals that have adapted to a cold climate, Siberian tigers tend to have much thicker and longer fur than other subspecies, with a thicker layer of fat beneath. This tends to make the Siberian tiger appear larger than it really is, since in winter this fur can reach 21 inches (46.2 cm) in length[36], although it is still the largest tiger subspecies, with an average (male) weight of about 227 kg. Their fur tends to be pale gold, with fewer and paler stripes than Bengal tigers.
