[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) is a rare subspecies of tiger (P. tigris). Also known as the Amur, Manchurian or North China tiger, it is confined completely to the Amur region in far eastern Siberia, where it is now protected. It is considered to be the largest of the 6 tiger subspecies.

The Siberian tiger is typically only 2-4 inches taller at the shoulder than the Bengal Tiger, which is about 107-110 cm (42-43 in) tall. Old males reach normally a head and body length of 190-220 centimetres (75-97 in). The largest male with largely assured references was 350 cm (138 in) "over curves" (3,30 m/130 in. between pegs) in total length.Male Siberian tigers usually weigh about 300 kg (660 lbs). Weights up to 700 lbs have been recorded and exceptionally large males of up to 384 kg have also been recorded.Females are normally smaller than males and weigh 100-167 kg (220-368 lbs), probably up to 180 kg (397 lbs).

I love this Gigantic beauty, taken in Nanital . It was a beautiful sight to see this gentleman of the Jungle.

Hi Satish

I can just imagine how thrilled you were to see this guy in the wild. They are impressive to see in zoos, so to get one in its native forest is great. Good pose of this healthy specimen. Well composed with good sharpness.

One beautiful creature - so sad man has almost wiped them out.

Nice pose on the tiger and interesting composition as though you were looking up at him or her on a hill.

Hi Satish

Great picture - very well composed especially. I do wonder if this is taken in a zoo? Tigers in the wild in India are usually the bengal subspecies.
