The Amur tiger is sometimes called the Siberian, Manchurian, Ussurian, or Northeast China tiger. Amur tigers live mainly in the forests of eastern Russia. A few Amur tigers are found in northeastern China and northern North Korea. Researchers think that there are between 350 and 400 wild Amur tigers in the world today.
Amur tigers are the biggest cats in the world. Males can grow to be 10’9” long and weigh as much as 660 pounds. Females are smaller. They measure about 8 ½’ from head to tail and weigh between 200 and 370 pounds.
