Amur Tiger

The Amur tiger, also known as the Siberian tiger, is the largest of all tiger subspecies and a symbol of resilience in the wild. These tigers inhabit cold, forested regions, and their thick fur and muscular build are adaptations to harsh winters.

In zoos, Amur tigers are provided with large enclosures that mimic their natural habitat, including dense vegetation, rocky areas, and water features. Zookeepers ensure they stay physically and mentally stimulated through activities like scent trails, puzzle feeders, and climbing structures. Their diet consists of high-quality meat, supplemented with bones for dental health.

Amur tigers in zoos are part of global breeding programs aimed at increasing their population. Zoos also educate visitors about the threats these tigers face in the wild, such as poaching and habitat destruction, inspiring conservation action.
