The Siberian tiger is one of the most beautiful, yet one of the most feared animals in the world. It is classified as a mammal. It is the largest of the tigers. Its biome is the tundra. It can grow up to 13 feet and weight up to 650 pounds. The tiger has stripes to help camouflage itself and to help it get food. This tiger alerts other tigers by roaring. The roar can be carried over five miles (8 kilometers). It can protect itself easily, if necessary. It inhabits the evergreen forest within the tundra. The mating season is usually in December through January. The female can have 2 to 6 cubs in a litter. |

At the zoo, we learned that there were at most six babies in a litter of tigers. |
Its habitat is in northeastern China, Korea, and eastern Siberia. The Siberian tiger once roamed most of Asia. These animals will live alone. Sometimes, they will meet each other. This usually occurs when a tiger catches and kills its prey. It is a carnivore. |

Siberian tigers have stripes to help them camouflage themselves. They will feed on mostly anything that they can get their paws on. Siberian tigers do migrate. They have a huge body, sharp claws and teeth, and a fierce strike. In 1970, only about 130 Siberian tigers inhabited the world. If the Siberian tiger didn't have stripes, it could possibly starve to death. |
