Siberian (or Amur) tigers are the world's largest cats. They live primarily in eastern Russia's birch forests, though some exist in China and North Korea. There are an estimated 400 to 500 Siberian tigers living in the wild, and recent studies suggest that these numbers are stable. Though their northern climate is far harsher than those of other tigers, these animals have some advantages. Northern forests offer the lowest human density of any tiger habitat, and the most complete ecosystem. The vast woodlands also allow tigers far more room to roam, as Russia's timber industry is currently less extensive than that of many other countries.

Hi Andy,
Great! I love the eye contact that really gave an impact to this shot. Clarity and details are there. I love the look of that tiger.

Hi Andy
Wonderful capture! Tigers are one of my favourite animals - the white one in particular.
I like the composition of this shot - the rock and grass adds interest without detracting from the main subject. His colours are really crisp which is helped by the blurry bg.
Lovely shot
Cheers

Hi Andy,

In order for me to get this shot, I'd need a 5000 mm telephoto, otherwise I'd be just too darn close! ahahaha! This is a strikingly (if that's a word) beautiful animal. Very majestic and regal. You have really captured it's beautiful golden glow of eyes, stripes, etc... Awesome Fav!!

What a beautiful animal this is! I am amazed at the tiger's gaze, it does not look resigned (at least not to me). You have done it justice with this impressive portrait, Andy!
