             The Siberian Tiger, also known as the Manchurian or Amur Tiger,  is the largest living cat in the world. Its scientific name is "Panthera tigris altaica". Siberian Tigers are found in the Amur-Ussuri region of Siberia; also in northern China and Korea. It lives in evergreen forests; the valleys there are where its best hunting and fishing grounds are located. Used to winter weather, this handsome animal has thick, fine fur, and a layer of fat that allows it to stand the bitter cold. It moves slowly and silently through the forest, hidden among branches and dead leaves.
             It has thick yellow fur with dark stripes. It has a broad, massive muzzle and large forequarters compared to other tigers.

The Siberian tiger is the largest and heaviest subspecies. The tiger has round pupils and yellow irises. Due to a retinal adaptation that reflect light back to the retina, their night vision is six times greater than that of humans.
