The Amur tiger, also known as the Siberian tiger, is the largest tiger subspecies and one of the most elusive predators in the world. Native to the forests of the Russian Far East and parts of China, these majestic creatures are perfectly adapted to survive in some of the harshest environments on Earth.

With a dense coat and a layer of fat, the Amur tiger can endure freezing temperatures. Solitary and territorial, it roams vast areas, using its powerful body and keen senses to hunt deer, wild boar, and even smaller predators. Despite their fearsome reputation, Amur tigers are shy and avoid human contact whenever possible.

Once on the brink of extinction, with fewer than 40 individuals left in the wild during the mid-20th century, the Amur tiger has made a remarkable recovery thanks to conservation efforts. However, they remain endangered, with habitat loss and poaching continuing to threaten their future.
