Overview
The Siberian Tiger is a magnificent and powerful cat that roams the forests of Asia. These big cats can reach impressive lengths of 10 to 12 feet, making them one of the largest tiger species on Earth.
Siberian Tigers belong to the family Felidae and the order Carnivora. They have a strong build, beautiful orange fur with black stripes, and lovely white bellies that help them blend into their snowy habitats.
This amazing predator has a diet primarily consisting of deer and wild boar. With their keen senses and stealthy skills, Siberian Tigers silently stalk their prey, ambushing them with powerful leaps.
Siberian Tigers can live between 15 and 20 years in the wild. They are solitary creatures, preferring to hunt alone, making them true masters of their domain.
Did you know that Siberian Tigers can weigh up to 300 pounds? That's about the same as a small car! They use their strength to catch large prey and can sprint quickly for short distances to chase after dinner.
Siberian Tigers are not just beautiful; they are also vital to their ecosystem. By helping control the population of deer and wild boar, these tigers contribute to the balance of their forest homes!
