Native Range
Northern and eastern Russia, northeastern China and the Korean Peninsula

The Siberian tiger is hard to ignore, even when it is doing absolutely nothing. Spend a few minutes at the exhibit and you may see it pace with a deliberate, almost effortless stride before settling into a patch of shade. The broad paws and thick coat hint at the cold forests of its native range, while the powerful shoulders become obvious when it gets up and moves. Look closely at the stripes, too. Each tiger has its own pattern, much like a fingerprint. On warmer days, a tiger may lounge near water or take a swim, a useful reminder that these big cats are far more comfortable in water than many people expect. Moments of stillness can be just as rewarding as bursts of movement. When the tiger suddenly focuses on a sound or scent, its whole posture changes, and the quiet exhibit can become very alert very quickly.
