Animal Facts
Siberian tigers have the largest hunting range of any tiger species, and males will travel up to 1000km in search of food and mates.
The Siberian tiger is the only tiger species that lives in snowy conditions.
Siberian tigers can reach speeds of 60kmh (40mph), even across snow.
An adult Siberian tiger can run while holding prey weighing 100kg.
Like the human fingerprint, tiger stripe patterns are unique to each tiger.
Some think of the Siberian tiger as 'white'; white Siberian tigers have been bred in zoos, but they would not survive in the wild due to poor camouflage in the trees making it difficult to hunt.
