A subspecies of tiger, the Siberian tiger is found primarily in the woodlands and mountain regions of eastern Russia. Siberian tigers are the largest cat found on planet Earth, and males in the wild can weigh over 300 kg and measure over 1.8 m long.
History: Like the Bengal tiger, the Siberian tiger is designated as endangered by the IUCN. Because their numbers are so limited, Siberian tigers have a remarkably low genetic diversity. Similarly, continued habit fragmentation has separated the population that lives in mountainous regions with those that live in woodland regions. While Siberian tigers currently have low global population numbers, there are thankfully a multitude of regulations and sanctuaries in place to help maintain and boost their numbers.
