Actually, the Siberian tigers numbers are on the rise, nearly 550 animals..Poachers brought the numbers down to nearly 45 at one point, however.

How do Siberian tigers hunt?

Siberian tigers are powerful hunters that travel many miles to find prey, such as elk and wild boar. They use their fur coats as camouflage (no two tigers have same pattern) and hunt by stealth. They lie in wait and creep close enough to attack their victims with a quick spring and a fatal pounce. A hungry Siberian tiger can eat as much as 60 pounds (27 kilograms) in one night, although they usually eat less.
