Tigers
(Panthea Tigris)
The Siberian is referred to as the stereotype tiger mainly because it is the most commonly known type of tiger around the world even though it is not actually one of the six subspecies (its real biological name is the Amur tiger) Most people do not know what the subspecies are and how to tell them apart so here is a list to help you tell the difference ;).
The first on the list is the Amur, or Siberian, tiger. It is found in eastern Russia mainly, with some in northeastern China northern North Korea. It lives in thick forests that are covered with snow in winter. Its apperance is Paler colouring than most other tiger breeds, with brown rather than black stipes. It also has a thick white ruff of fur round its neck. it is the largest cat in the world; up to 3.3m head to tail, about 300kg for average male. There are less than 350 in the wild.
Next is the Bengal tiger. Found in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Burma. Can be found anywhere from cold Himalayan forests to hot swamps to wet forests of north India to dry forests of Rajasthan. It is reddish orange fur with narrow black , grey or brown stripes. Its underside is creamy white. It can get up to 2.9m head to tail, about 140 kg for average male. 3, 500 in the wild.
3rd is the Indochinese tiger. It is mainly found in Thailand, but also Burma, Cambodia, Laos, southern China, Vietnam, parts of Malaysia. It likes to live in forests in hilly to mountainous areas. It bas reddish orange to dark yellow fur with black or dark grey stripes. Males get up to 2.7m head to tail, about 115kg. Less than 1000 in the wild.
4th is the Malay, or Malayan, tiger found only in the Malaysian part of the Malay peninsula. It only lives in hilly forest areas because lowland forests have been cleared for rubber and palm oil plantations. Appearance very similar to Indo-Chinese tiger and it was not until 2004 that it was classified as a different subspecies. It can get up to 2.7m head to tail, about 120kg and about 500 in the wild.
5th is the South China, or Amoy, tiger. Found in central - eastern China. It lives in Moist forests and has short broad stripes widely spaced. Gets up to 2.5 metres head to tail, about 150 kg. Only20-30 in the wild. Without a doubt they are the most critically endangered of the tigers, and possibly already extinct.
Finally there is the Sumatran tiger. Found only on the island of Sumatran and lives in it's forests, lowland to mountain areas. It is the darkest and smallest of the tigers, suitable for its rainforest habitat. Males get up to 2.4m head to tail, 90 kg. Also Critically Endangered, about 240 left in the wild.
You should now be able to see why the Siberian tiger is much more unique.

What makes a peregrine falcon endangered?
Peregrine falcons were once endangered due to pesticide use, such as DDT, which caused eggshell thinning and reproductive issues. Conservation efforts, such as banning DDT and reintroduction programs, have helped the species recover in many regions, but they still face threats from habitat loss and human disturbance.
Who makes an endangered animal endangered?
To make an animal endangered a lot of people have to contribute. Most of the time people cut down forests for farmland which destroys their habitat and the animals will be forced to find a new place to live. Animals can also be killed by introduced animals or poached by humans. It is bad to have endangered animals and everyone should try to stop killing them. This depends on whether or not you are asking: a) what are the environmental mechanisms that lead a species to being considered at risk of extinction or endangered? The above portion gives a brief idea of that; b) what makes an animal endangered as determined by scientists? This usually involves various ways of measuring population and determining viable survival. c) what makes an animal endangered as determined by the government and legislation that is supposed to be protective? For instance, Canada's Species At Risk Act or SARA puts species into 4 categories requiring different levels of action in order to protect their survival: Extirpated; Endangered; Threatened; and Special Concern. In this case, Endangered has a specific legal meaning. Also, a species may be considered endangered by biologists but that does not always mean the government in question will recognize and protect that species as endangered because of other concerns, which are often political and economic. Current efforts in the United States to delist the Wolf and Steller's Sea Lion are good examples. The organization that CLASSIFIES animals as endangered is the IUCN.
What makes the Sumatran Tiger so unique and special?
Well, their greatly endangered, high on the endangered species list. They are on the move lately, and always trying to find a spawning ground for mothers. I believe they have some sort of special coat or marking in their fur.
Is there any indangerd or extinct species in the Sahara desert?
Several different species of Sahara animals are either extinct or endangered and on the edge of extinction. An example would be desert antelope and gazelle which are on the verge of extinction due to loss, over-hunting, and drought. Another would be the Saharan Cheetah which makes it's home in the mountain ranges near the riverbeds, but they are quickly losing their habitats, causing them to be an endangered species.
What makes giraffes endangered?
theyre not endangered. but if they were, it would be because of short trees and buildings
What unique characteristics distinguish a white beetle with black spots from other beetle species?
A white beetle with black spots can be distinguished from other beetle species by its color pattern, which is not commonly found in other beetles. This unique characteristic sets it apart and makes it easily recognizable.
