Description: The largest of all cats, body length up to 2.8 m (110 in), tail up to 95.3 cm (37.5 in). Rounded head has a convex profile. Ears are rounded and are black on the outside with a white center area. Eyes are yellowish. Hair longer on cheeks and neck. Coloration is reddish yellow to rust brown on the upper side, white underneath. Body is covered by black stripes. Young are similar in appearance.

Range and Habitat: Several hundred live in the Amur-Vassuri region, where their numbers may be increasing; less than one hundred in northern China and Korea. Large variety of habitats, needs only large prey, water and some cover to survive.

Habits and Adaptations: Have very large territories of up to 1024 square km (386 square miles) due to scarcity of prey. They are generally solitary, but young live with mother for up to 3 years. Two or more adults may congregate to feed. Not exceptionally efficient hunters; may go several days without eating, but can consume as much as 50 kg (110 lbs). at one feeding and will eat practically anything when necessary. Dens are beneath rocks or fallen trees. One tiger may have several dens in its territory. Only mothers with young will stay at one den for long periods. Can leap 5 m (6.5 yards), 10 m (11 yards) downward, and can jump over barriers 1.8 m (2 yards) high. Like water and are excellent swimmers. Adults are not good climbers.

Diet: Large mammals, but will also eat eggs, carrion or berries. The tiger is not the efficient hunter that most people believe it to be, and sometimes must eat whatever food it can find. In captivity, horsemeat with vitamins and minerals added, or a commercially prepared diet may be provided.

Breeding and Maturation: Gestation period is 100-108 days. Litter size may be one to six. Offspring usually remain with the mother for about two years, after which litter mates may still stay with each other for a while before setting out on their own. Maturation may be 4-5 years for the male, 3-4 years for the female. In captivity, tigers may become mature at about 2 years. Females in the wild usually produce litters only about every 3 or 4 years.
