up to 320 kg, while females are significantly smaller, weighing up to 180 kg.Siberian tigers are distinguishable by their
striped fur. Similar to people’s unique fingerprints, no two tigers have the same striped pattern. Siberian tigers differ from
other tigers because they have fewer, and they also have manes. The mane, in addition to their thick fur, helps keep them
warm. They have a coloring that is pale in the winter and get bolder with the warmer temperatures and changing seasons.
Some of them have darker stripes than others based on location. These stripes can be a dark brown instead of black. They
have Wide pads help the tiger to move on deep snow. This subspecies of tiger has a skull that is much larger than the others.
The skull of the male is quite a bit larger than that of the female.

Siberian tigers are powerful hunters that travel many miles to find prey and stalk their prey, which include elk, boar, bears,
and deer, until they are close enough to attack. When successful, they drag their kill to a secluded area before devouring the
meat. Tigers also hunt smaller animals like rabbits, pikas, and fish.Because Siberian tigers are not always successful on their
hunts, they need to hunt often. They can eat up to 27 kg if they are very hungry, but generally they eat about 9 kg of meat in
one sitting.They mainly hunt at night they have been seen out during the daylight hours to find food. Siberian tigers can
travel a large distance in their home range to find food, They use their powerful jaws to pounce into action after they have
snuck up closely to their prey. They are able to take down animals that weigh several times more than they do. The Siberian
tiger not only hunts, but fishes as well. During breeding tigers can catch fish on mountain rivers’ Despite their fearsome
reputation, most tigers avoid humans; however, a few do become dangerous killers. These animals are often sick and unable
to hunt normally, or live in areas where their traditional prey has vanished.

The Siberian Tiger mate at around 4 years old, with females emitting a powerful scent during estrus to attract males. After a
ritual of circling and growling, they engage in mating for several days. The male then seeks more females, and the female
finds a den to protect them. The baby is born around 103 days after conception. Females give birth to litters of two to six
cubs, which they raise with little or no help from the male. The mother tiger will care for the cubs by herself, at times,
leaving the babies alone while she hunts. Often she cannot catch enough food for the cubs, and some will die. At 3 months,
the babies will be able to leave the den; they may even go on hunts with their mother. At 18 months old, they are able to hunt
on their own, but will not leave their mother’s den. Cubs cannot hunt until they are 18 months old, and remain with their
mothers for two to three years, when they able to find their own territory and then will leave the den and begin life on their
own

There are believed to be between 400 and 500 wild Siberian tigers remaining in the world. It's encouraging to hear that these
figures have remained steady, according to some recent research. There is hope that the number will rise as long as it isn't
falling. Conservation activities still include preserving habitat, informing the public about these tigers, and addressing
poaching issues. However, because of the black market's need for fur and Chinese medicine, poaching has long been an
issue. Right now, there is a threat to the survival of the Siberian tiger. Increasing genetic diversity is one of the main goals of
conservation. The main factor in captive breeding programs
