Amur Tiger Panthera tigris altaica

Endangered

Amur tigers are one of the largest members of the cat family. Like human fingerprints, the striped pattern of each tiger’s fur is unique to that individual.

Diet:
Tigers hunt for large prey like deer and wild boar. Their orange color and stripes help them to camouflage in forest habitats while stalking their next meal.
Habitat:
Forests and grasslands of far eastern Russia and northeast China.

Upstanding animal care and attentive veterinarians work hard to care for Koshka in her advanced age. You can often see Koshka napping in the cave in the back of her habitat.
