The Siberian tiger, also known as
the Amur tiger, is a tiger subspecies inhabiting mainly the Sikhote Alin mountain region with a small
subpopulation in southwest Primorye
province in the Russian Far East. In 2005, there were
331–393 adult-subadult Amur tigers in this region, with a breeding
adult population of about 250 individuals. The population has been stable for
more than a decade due to intensive conservation efforts, but partial surveys conducted
after 2005 indicate that the Russian tiger population is declining.
The
Siberian tiger is the largest living felid and ranks among the biggest
felids to ever exist. Thank you Sveta for this
nice card.
