Amur tiger

one of the endangered species

Amur Tiger or Siberian tiger, or a Siberian tiger or Amur tiger - one of the smallest tiger subspecies, the most northern tiger. Included in the Red Book of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and in the Red Book of the Russian Federation.

The area of this tiger is concentrated in a protected area on the south-east Russia, on the banks of the Amur and Ussuri rivers in the Khabarovsk and Primorsky regions. Most of all Amur tigers common in the foothills of the Sikhote-Alin in Lazovsky district of Primorsky Krai.

Normal adult male in nature, weighs in the range of 180-220 kg, the height at the withers in 90-106 cm. However, Bengal tigers living in some of the national parks of India, now can significantly exceed the size of the Amur. Although, historically, these two subspecies of tigers were probably still close to each other in size, and reduction in the size of Amur tigers is directly linked to human activity

This is the only subspecies of tiger, whose representatives are on their bellies five-centimeter layer of fat that protects against the freezing wind at extremely low temperatures. The body is elongated, flexible, rounded head, rather short legs, a long tail.
