4. Kharkiv Zoo in Ukraine has one of these tigers.
The Siberian tiger is the biggest feline on the face of the Earth at the time, but if things continue to move in the same direction, that will change in the not so far future; and not because other species will grow bigger, but because it will become extinct.
Kharkiv Zoo in Ukraine has one of these tigers.

5. Reasons of endangering
Siberian tigers are powerful predators that hunt alone, sometimes searching for prey for many miles. However, despite their reputation and killer traits, they avoid humans as much as they can. In the extremely rare cases when they do attack, it’s because they have nothing to eat.
The main problem is deforestation. The siberian tigers requires vast territories to live, and so does it’s prey and other numerous animals from the ecosystem. However, due to (legal and illegal) logging, its habitat decreased greatly, leaving it without food and hope.
Also, poaching is a big issue. Whether it’s for
the fur, for medicinal purposes, or just for
a big trophy, it has to be controlled
more strictly.

6. One of the most beautiful animals
I find the Siberian tigers are one of the most beautiful animals especially, because they are cats. How sad is that people were and always are killing them for their skin. That is really a cruel deed.
