Amur tiger

The Amur, or Siberian, tiger is the world's largest cat species. It is a massively built animal with a rounded head, muscular body, and powerful limbs, especially the forearm and shoulder, which enables it to overpower prey larger than itself. The tail is usually slightly shorter than half the head and body length. Ears are small and rounded. Older males have massive forequarters and huge heads. The muzzle is relatively broader than in other tiger species, and they have large canine teeth. The summer coat is fairly short and smooth and tawny gold in colour. The winter coat is very full and long and a more pale yellowish colour. The stripes are brown and less numerous than in other tiger species.

Length of head and body: 1.8 - 2.8 m
Length of tail: 0.9 m
Weight: 180 - 306 kg (males); 100 - 167 kg (females)
