The largest type of tiger is the Siberian tiger, also known as the Amur tiger. This magnificent creature can weigh up to 660 pounds (300 kg) and can reach lengths of up to 10 feet (3.3 meters) when measuring from head to tail. Siberian tigers inhabit the forests of eastern Russia and parts of China, where they primarily hunt large prey such as elk and wild boar. Due to habitat loss and poaching, the population of Siberian tigers is critically endangered, making conservation efforts crucial to their survival in the wild.
