Amur Tiger, Panthera tigris altaica, Cub

In the wild, some of these tigers grow to be very large. Males may weigh about 600 pounds [270 kg] and reach a length of more than ten feet [3 m], including the tail. The tigers are well-equipped for cold, snowy winters. Thick fur covers their body, and the tiger’s huge feet are padded with fur that serves as a snowshoe.— g 6/08 pp. 16-17 The Siberian Tiger—Will It Survive?
