Siberian Tiger
ÂÂ
Description:
Common Name: Siberian Tiger
Scientific Name:†Panthera Tigis Altaica“
Tigers are mammals. They have orange and black stripes and some white on
their head.
Weight: Male, 180-306kg; Female, 100- 167kg.
They have thick coats to keep them warm from the snow.
Siberian tigers eat deer, wild pigs, fish, antelopes, monkeys, tapirs
and even crocodiles.
Tigers are carnivores.
Siberian tigers have six or seven cubs. Tigers mate at any time of the
year, but mainly
between November and April. A tiger female is pregnant for 104-106 days,
then two to four
blind cubs are born in a sheltered den. They drink milk form their
mother who rarely leaves
them except when she goes out to hunt. The cubs eyes open at about two
weeks and their
first teeth start to grow at two months of age. The cubs stay in the den
and the mother
brings them meat to eat although they continue to take her milk until
they are five or six
months old. At that stage the mother may start to encourage the cubs to
go with her on
hunting trips.
The cubs are less than a year old when they start to hunt for
themselves, because they
have skills of survival from their mother. At two years they can kill
large prey. They will not
leave their mother until they are two and a half years old. They will
look for their own
territories and mates.
Tigers are capable of dragging prey that would take more than twelve men
to move.
Legends say that tigers attract deer by sounding like them, but this is
not true. A healthy
diet for the tiger consists of 9-10kg of meat a day. The heaviest
Siberian tiger on record
weighed 384kg.
Siberian Tigers live in most of Northern Asia. They like winter where
they stay in the snow.
Siberian tigers are endangered because people want their fur.
Countries have banned the hunting of tigers.
