Male Siberians can weigh approximately 500 pounds, a great deal larger than his other Tiger cousins. Females weigh around 300 pounds, fully grown. Siberian Tigers are found in southeastern Siberia, although there have been Siberian Tigers spotted in Manchuria and Korea. These Tigers have dwindled in numbers due to hunting and scarce food supplies. Sources say there may be as few as 350 Siberian Tigers in the wild, and as many as 600 in captivity around the world.
Education is the best tool for any owner of exotic cats.
As with any large, exotic cat, a veterinarian willing and able to care for exotic cats should be consulted. Only a veterinarian trained in the care of exotic cats will understand the special needs of the Siberian Tiger. As with any cat, vaccinations against feline diseases are needed. Siberian Tigers need a special diet of fresh meat and access to clean water at all times. A proper enclosure is mandatory for licensing of the pet.
