    Siberian tigers are like an avalanche, you're afraid of them or at least you should be, they travel in mass amounts, and they are white (at least they have some white on them). Siberian tigers are members of the phylum chordata. Obviously they are from the kingdom anamalia. their characteristics place it under the class mammalia. they are in the family felidae and are in the order carnivore. finally they are members of the genius and species panthera and panthera Tigris ahaika.

   Siberian tigers are the best hunters that you could ask for. For example, the Siberian tiger is the largest species of tiger in the world. this shows that they are able to take down prey easier than most of the other species of tigers. In addition, Siberian tigers have retractable claws. this shows that the can kill prey quickly and easily. Finally, they have black stripes all over their bodies. this is useful because the can use their stripes as a distraction and camouflage. In conclusion, tigers have it easy when it comes to killing prey.

    Siberian tigers require many needs to live and hunt. for example, one characteristic  of the habitat is a forest or a place with dense covering. this shows that they need a place where they can hide and rest unseen by prey. In addition they need land anywhere from 1200 sq. miles-1600 sq. miles. this shows tat they need to have enough space to dwell and chase prey. Finally, during the summer they need to migrate to higher altitude. this shows that they need the weather to be some what cool in order to survive. in conclusion the Siberian tigers need many phisical features in their habitat.

   Siberian Tigers are slowly being poached and we must bring it to an end by bring them into captivity and breeding them.
