Siberian tigers, also known as Amur tigers (Panthera tigris altaica), are the largest subspecies of tigers. They can weigh up to 300 kg and are found in the cold and snowy forests of eastern Russia and parts of China. These magnificent creatures are an important part of the ecosystem, and their conservation is vital.

About the picture

This image was taken in April 2008 in Ranthambore National Park. This gorgeous tigress was resting in front of the lake in the morning. Once the sun was up, she got up and made her way to the ruins of the old mosque. This image was captured when she was posing majestically amidst golden grass with the ruins in the background.

Fun Fact

While tigers may occasionally congregate, they usually live solitary lives.
