Siberian Tiger

One of the most stunningly gorgeous animals on earth, the tiger is poetry in motion. The tiger’s body can be as long as twelve feet from head to tail. Siberian and Bengal tigers have reached weights in excess of eight hundred pounds. Solitary by nature, the tiger spends most of its time patrolling staked out territory, which can exceed four hundred square miles. The tiger is a night hunter, preying on many species, including deer, buffalo and goats. Males and females socialize only during mating season. Gestation lasts 104 to 106 days and females bear two to four young.

Many cultures in Asia hold the tiger in high regard both physically and spiritually. This respect over the years has turned into rampant exploitation of the tiger, now at the point of extinction. There are only a few thousand individuals left on the planet.
