Optimal foraging behavior is a theory that suggests animals will maximize their energy intake while minimizing the energy they expend when searching and obtaining food. This behavior helps animals survive and reproduce by selecting the most efficient foraging strategies to ensure their continued success in obtaining resources. It considers factors such as prey abundance, handling time, and energy requirements.
The scientific name of the white Siberian tiger is Panthera tigris tigris.
White tigers are simply a genetic mutation within all tiger subspecies, so the classification is the same as regular Bengal tigers.

Panthera tigris tigris. Please note that "White Tigers" are simply ordinary tigers with leucism or albinism.
They can grow up to 3.5-4 feet tall and 13 feet long.
Siberian Tigers like to hunt alone. Females are usually the better hunters because they provide food for the young and family.
Because of it's unique stipey pattern and it's extremely valuable as the iger is becoming very rare. Poaching needs to be stopped. Hope this helps
Siberian tigers have never really left the wild. In fact, recent studies show an increase in their numbers to nearly 600. Additional Info: The Siberian or Amur Tiger is considered ciritically endangered. Back in the 1940's they were facing the point of extinction, with only 40 tigers in the wild. They have made a remarkable come back! Thanks in part, to strict anti-poaching laws, and many other conservation practices put in place by the Russians, along with the help of other groups. The State Council of The People's Republic of China, issued a notice, making it against the law to use tiger bone for medicinal purposes, in 1993. They have, with the help of the Ministry of Public Health, tried to push companies to find alternatives to the long used tiger bone, for their medications. Even with a jump in poaching incidents in the 1990's, the population has held up surprisingly well. The population has been fairly steady for the last decade and with the new studies and further projects to protect their habitat and re-enforce poaching laws there is hope it may expand. There are now, at last count 431 to 529 indivduals in the wild, and a new count is under way now, along with several other new programs. For more information please see the sites listed below.
There are at least two subspecies names associated with the Siberian tiger: Panthera Tigris longipilis and Panthera Tigris altaica.
Literally, these names mean "Panther tiger long-haired" and "Panther tiger of the Altai Mountains", respectively.
According to www.borealforest.org, the Siberian Chipmunk is omnivorous! They feed on vegetables, conifer seeds, and the nuts of dicotyledonous plants, buds of trees, shrubs, mushrooms, berries, field crops, wheat, oats & buckwheat. They also attack insects, young birds, and lizards.
Overhunting was an early reason for the decline of this species, Indian princes and foreign hunters took an enormous toll of the great cats in the 1800's to mid 1900's.
As the human population expanded, more land was cleared for settlements and crops, meaning less land for tigers. Conflicts occured, and the tiger was the loser. Finally, quack Chinese medicines made from tiger body parts led to a lucrative poaching trade, pressuring the tigers even more. Today, Bengal tigers are afforded the strictest protection, and the last survey showed an increase in their numbers, up to around 1800 from a low of around 1411.
Though not as well known as the Bengal tiger as maneaters, Siberian tigers will sometimes prey on humans.
Tigers are beautiful creatures. But their beauty can make them extinct.
Tigers are endangered because their fur is beautiful and many rich people like to wear them. Their en-dangerous is mostly made by farmers. When a tiger loses its territory it starts to steal sheeps, cows, horses, ducks and sometimes donkeys. When a farmer had discovered that his animals are gone , he/she starts to make traps for the tiger. Tigers are caught and farmers start to hunt for tigers. But the truth, tigers didn't do anything, if he/she was a man eater well then its the only option but it will continue like this, in next 10 years it is expected that tigers will be history.
•Most Siberian Tigers now are in zoo, exhibits to breed. The plan is called SSP (Species Survival Plan. Which is a breeding program) and it is based on 83 tigers that were caught. Today, there are over 160 Siberian tigers in the SSP.
Of course not..These massive ancestors of the tigers and other feline were excellent skilled hunters and were defenitely not LAZY!!!
The Siberian Tiger population was severely affected by the Russian Civil War of the 1930's, and the Soviet Union did prohibit the legal hunting of tigers, within their borders in 1947. The US Fish and Wildlife Services Program, listed the Siberian Tiger as "endangered", according to the Endangered Species List, in 1970. The Russian government, working with other groups, such as the WWF, created The Siberian Tiger Project in 1992. For more details, please see the sites listed below.
POO(:
THEY SMILE ALOT (:
Humans, wolves, and mountain lions are predators of the white-tailed deer.
According to the "animal face-off" series, a male tiger has an impressive bite force of 1000 pounds. This is equal to 453 kg, and it means that it can cut through bone. There are indeed cases of male tigers that pierced through the skulls of other male tigers with their canines, during territorial fights. The lion has also the same bite force. In the "animal face-off" series, it was stated that scientists have developed a statistical formula to measure the bite force; Bite force = 2 (M x m+ T x t) / Length U, according to which, the bite force for both the tiger and the lion is 1000 pounds. However, the bite force is not the same for all tigers (and lions). It depends on the size, strength, age (etc) of the particular individual. Hyenas have a greater bite force than tigers (and lions). However, a tiger's bite (or a lion's bite) is much more devastating than a hyena's bite, because of the larger teeth that a tiger (or a lion) has.
they bite so hard that when they bite they can rip your flesh open
NO. Tigers don't live where polar bears do, so the question has no merit whatsoever.
