Siberian (or Amur) tigers are the world's largest cats. They live
primarily in eastern Russia's birch forests, though some exist in China
and North Korea. There are an estimated 400 to 500 Siberian tigers
living in the wild, and recent studies suggest that these numbers are
stable. Though their northern climate is far harsher than those of other
tigers, these animals have some advantages. Northern forests offer the
lowest human density of any tiger habitat, and the most complete
ecosystem. The vast woodlands also allow tigers far more room to roam,
as Russia's timber industry is currently less extensive than that of
many other Tigers are the largest of all wild cats and are renowned for their power
and strength. There were once eight tiger subspecies, but three became
extinct during the 20th century.
