Some infos about this animal : The Siberian tiger, also known as the Amur, Altaic, Korean, North Chinese or Ussuri tiger, is a subspecies of tiger which once ranged throughout Western Asia, Central Asia and eastern Russia, and as far east as Alaska during prehistoric times, though it is now completely confined to the Amur-Ussuri region of Primorsky Krai and Khabarovsk Krai in far eastern Siberia, where it is now protected. It is the biggest of the eight recent tiger subspecies and the largest living felid, attaining 320 kg (710 lb) in an exceptional specimen. Genetic research in 2009 revealed that the current Siberian tiger population is almost identical to the Caspian tiger, a now extinct western population once thought to have been a distinct subspecies.

The Siberian tiger is typically 5–10 cm (2.0–3.9 in) taller at the shoulders than the Bengal tiger, which is about 107–110 cm (42–43 in) tall. Males measure 270–330 cm (110–130 in) long and weigh 180–306 kg (400–670 lb); females measure 240–275 cm (94–108 in) long and weigh 100–167 kg (220–370 lb). The largest male, with largely assured references, measured 370 cm (150 in) "over curves" (330 cm (130 in) between pegs) in total length. The tail length in fully grown males is about 1 m (39 in).

Conservation status : Endangered.
