The appearance of the tiger is familiar to all people. Any person can easily restore the in-memory its characteristic features. But there are some features that are worth paying attention to. First, let's go back to the classification of the animal. Tigers belong to the order of Prey, Cat family, genus Panthera (Panther). View one - Panthera tigris, but includes several subspecies. Currently there is no consensus on the number of subspecies. According to one version, seven: Amur, Sumatran, Chinese, Sevan, Bali, Turan, Indochina. According to another allocated eight subspecies, three of which (the latter) are considered extinct (P. tigris altaica, P. tigris amoyensis, P. tigris corbetti, P. tigris sumatrae, P. tigris tigris, P. tigris balica, P. tigris sondaica, P. tigris virgata) From extinct subspecies remained only the skins, which you can define them. All other subspecies are protected. Within this species variability greatly vary the size and color of animals depend on their habitat. By the way, this pattern is typical for many living creatures. Farther North there is the beast, the more his size, and color becomes more soft, pastel colors. Indeed, Amur tigers living in the far East of our country, in northeastern China and Northern North Korea, are the largest of the cats and one of the largest predators on Earth. Their length (females are smaller than males) reaches 280 cm and a weight of 300 kg or more. For comparison, take the lion. Its length can reach 240 cm and a weight of 227 kg But under natural conditions and tigers, and lions are very seldom so great. More often you can see these giants in zoos, where animals do not have to fight for survival, and most of the time they spend in a pleasant slumber, increasing mass. The male Amur tiger, is included in the Guinness Book of records as the heaviest representative of the form (410 kg), lived in captivity. With good care and feeding tigers in zoos easily diginaut until very old age (40-50 years), while And the nature of such long-lived not found. Here there is tough competition, and overcoming fifteen-year milestone is an achievement. Habitat conditions have an impact on the size of the animals. However, the Amur tiger is still ahead of its size, lion and other subspecies of tigers. This subspecies is the true king of the beasts, judging by the size, the more he achieves this feature by many other positive qualities.
