Subspecies: P. t. tigris 

This species has been in existence for a little less the 10,000 years.

Closing living relative is the caspian tiger 

The Siberian Tiger originated from a species known as 'Panthera.

physical description: The Siberian tiger is larger than the Bengal tiger. Reddish body covered with narrow black transverse stripes. Pattern of every tiger is unique, as fingerprints. you won't find two tigers with an identical pattern. 

Key characteristics :  Siberian tigers differ from other tigers because they have fewer, paler stripes, and they also have manes. The mane, in addition to their thick fur, helps keep them warm. 

Size : Length of the Siberian tiger body, without tail is 160-200 cm, length of tail about 100 cm.  

Weight: Weight of an adult animal can reach 300 kg. The largest weight recorded is 384 kg. 

Life span : 10-15 years 

Differences between males and females: females are significantly smaller. males also tend to have a longer tail. Also a slight difference in behavior.

How much rainfall?: they don't have much rainfall its mainly snow.

Plants: oak, birch and coniferous trees dominate the landscape.

Animals: Other animals sharing the Siberian's habitat include deer, elk and wild boar. Amur leopards are also in the region.

Temperature: where nights can be as cold as -40 °C (−40 °F), to the mangrove swamps of the Sundarbans, where the temperatures reach more than 40 °C (104 °F).

Terrain : Most wild Siberian tigers live in eastern Russia. Mainly in the forests of the Sikhote-Alin mountain range.

What continents are they found in? Asia

invasive ?: No 

what do they eat?:the average weight of a tiger is about 700 lbs. They consume about an average of 35-110 pounds of meat at a given time. Their favorite food is deer and wild boar. Some of their favorite deer species are sambar, chital, swamp deer, hog deer, and sikar deer.

how often do they eat: they eat everyday 

how do they get their food: by hunting 

any special foods: N/A

packs or solos : Tigers are solitary animals, with the exception of mothers and their cubs. Individual tigers roam across large areas

Roles within community: they do not live in groups. so there is not groups

Individuals that make up the group: N/A

male or female lead: no groups. but the mom stays with the kids and the dad roams off

how do they interact with each other?' : Adult males and females both communicate to one another by marking their territories. Also they only are usally together if they are mating

how often do they mate : Over three to four days, tigers can mate anywhere from 200 to 250 times and sometimes it can be as frequent as every 5 to 7 minutes.

how mates do they have: In the animal kingdom, tigers often choose just one partner

Time of year for mating: December to January

Mating rituals:Tigers usually begin their courtship by circling each other and vocalizing

Number of offspring produces at a time:Female tigers give birth to two to four cubs at a time, on average, and can do so every two years.

Any unique characteristics of their mating:As a mating behavior, the female leaves its urine and scratch marks on tree trunks before mating, in order to signal her receptiveness. The couple spends around 5 to 6 days together, during which, the tigress is receptive for about 3 days.

Stages of development:Tigers have a life cycle, or the stages they go through as they grow from a newborn cub to an adult. When a tiger mom is ready to have her cubs, she finds a safe den where she can hide them and still find enough food to hunt.

How old before sexual maturity:A female tiger reaches sexual maturity at between three and four years old, and will likely have her first litter then. Males are about a year older than their female counterparts when they reach sexual maturity; that is, between four and five years old. 

Activities and environment of stages:They will stay hidden and protected in the comfy den that their mother prepared before their birth for the first eight weeks of their lives.They are nursed by their mother who will gradually begin to introduce solids when the cubs are between six and eight weeks old.When the cub is two months old, it will be allowed to venture out of the security of the den. The next few months will be spent being trained to hunt and live independently of their mothers care. This is done both by observation and by practice. By about 18 months of age, they are usually equipped to hunt for themselves. Still, both males and females will stay with their mothers until they are about 2.5 years old.

Difference between males and females: Adult male Siberian tigers can weigh up to 320 kg (700 lb.), while females are significantly smaller, weighing up to 180 kg (400 lb.). Siberian tigers are distinguishable by their striped fur. Similar to people's unique fingerprints, no two tigers have the same striped pattern.

Predation:Tigers commonly coexist with two smaller potential competitors leopards and dholes. Top predators like tigers often shape their communities through intraguild predation.

Sexual Competition: other tigers

Disease: They discovered that some of the tigers were dying of canine distemper virus (CDV) infection. With fewer than 400 Siberian tigers left in the wild, the team had to act fast. They mobilized a group of experts, including epidemiologists and virologists experienced in CDV research, to deal with the crisis

other cause: Siberian tigers are considered endangered by IUCN's Red List. One cause of their dwindling population is loss of habitat due to deforestation. In addition, Siberian tigers are poached, or illegally hunted, for their fur and for body parts that are used for traditional medicines.

inter-speices: since siberian tigers are usally solo animals unless a mother is with her cubs. they fight over terr tory most of the time if its within there own speices 

other speices: lions and tigers are both dominet animals and when they come together its not a pretty site to see

what do they compete over: if other animals come their way and in thier space they will fight over it. they will fight over a female to show domanice.

Affect of invasive species: N/A

What is the rating?: Endangerd 

population: Approximately 350-400 adult Siberian are left in the wild, with 95% of these individuals inhabiting the forests of the Russian Far East, where they play a critical role in both the ecosystem and local culture.

Population Trend: In Russia, Siberian tiger numbers have increased by 15% in the past 10 years to around 540 animals. 

What impacts have occurred: Humans out-compete tigers for food and space. Siberian tiger populations are also threatened by illegal poaching and retaliatory killings that result from human-tiger conflicts in the wild. Humans have caused up to 80 percent of all Siberian tiger deaths.

Potential Future impacts: climate change could get worse for them if we dont step in and do something about it.

How long have humans been interacting withsiberian tigers: 100+ years

Efforts being made to minimize impacts: humans are stating releif groups so that we can rasie awareness to help the destruction of the sibereian tigers home.
