There are about 500 Siberian tigers currently surviving in the wild, but the effective population accounts for genetic diversity. BBC says that the tiger has a very low diversity, which means that any disease or rare genetic disorders will probably be passed on to the next generation. A more diverse genetic population would increase its chance of survival
and would be able to "cancel out" diseases and disorders with healthy genes.
Recent surveys show the wild population of these great cats to around 550, but only around 300-390 are breeding age adults.
The rare white tigers are a color morph of the Bengal, not Siberian tiger. However, in captivity some white Bengals have been mated to siberians, producing white crossbreeds. Many white tigers can be seen in captivity, none seen in wild for many years.
Last census showed an increase to around 500 in the wild.
The latest estimates as of July 2015 are 300-450 left in the wild.
Latest numbers are around 500 left in the wild now, a slight increase from the last survey.
Around 150-200 are left in the woods in Russia,China and some parts od North Korea and India
There is only one species of tiger, with six subspecies, of which the Siberian is one.

It is estimated that the maximum number of Siberian tigers left in the wild is around 550 tigers.
There are no Siberian lions, only Siberian tigers. There are around 500 of these left in the wild.
There are currently around 500 Amur (Siberian) tigers in the wild. Numbers are slowly increasing.
Around 500 in the last survey, with a lean towards increasing population.
In the zoo or in the south eastern corner of Russia if there are any left in the wild.
The white tigers are bengals, not siberians, and none are currently in the wild. All are in captivity.
The latest survey, done last year, indicated a slight increase in the wild population, over 550 tigers there now.
Between 500 to 600.
NO. Siberian tigers are TIGERS, which means they are large wild cats that are meant to live out in the wild, not in a house like a domestic cat!
White tigers are Bengals, not Siberian, and deer and wild hog, and buffalo are their prey.
Siberian tigers live in deciduous forests, and are not white. All of the wild white tigers were Bengals.
The term "snow tiger" is used to refer to a couple of different sub-species of tigers. Often it is used to refer to the Bengal tigers that have a gene mutation giving them a white coloration. Sometimes these white Bengal tigers are also called the "snow white tiger". This coloration in the Bengal is very rare, especially in the wild. But perhaps, more frequently, the only tiger that lives in snowy country, the Siberian, is referred to the "snow tiger" or "Siberian Snow tiger". These Siberian tigers are believed to number only around 600 in the wild today."Snow tigers" are of the Siberian tiger species and are estimated at between 500 to 600 in the wild.
