Endangered Species Report Siberian Tiger   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. 쥁@
