The common name for the largest cat species is the Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica). These magnificent tigers primarily inhabit the forests of eastern Russia and parts of China. Adult males can weigh up to 600 pounds (272 kg) and measure up to 12 feet (3.7 meters) in length, including their tail. Siberian tigers are distinguished by their thick fur and striking orange coloration, which helps them blend into their natural habitats. Unfortunately, they are considered endangered due to habitat loss and poaching, making conservation efforts critical for their survival.
