The Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) is a very rare subspecies of the tiger. The Siberian tiger is also known as Amur tiger, Korean tiger, Manchurian tiger, North Chinese tiger, or Ushur tiger, depending on where it occurs. Research has shown that the Siberian tiger is genetically almost identical to the Caspian tiger, which became extinct in 1970.[2] The Siberian tiger has no fixed mating period and keeps itself alive by eating other mammals, sometimes twice as large as the tiger itself.[source?] It is the largest of the felines.
