In the animal world, tigers are located at the top of the food chain.

There are nine subspecies of tigers, but due to the decrease in habitat and human hunting, three species of tigers have become extinct (Bali tiger, Java tiger and Caspian tiger).

The Northeast tiger, also known as the Siberian tiger, is found in northeast Asia, mainly in the Siberian region of Russia and Korea.

It is called the "King of the Jungle".

The Northeast tiger is the largest carnivorous feline in existence, with males reaching a length of about 3 meters and an average weight of 250 kilograms, with the largest reaching about 350 kilograms.

Due to habitat destruction, poaching and other reasons, the world's only remaining wild Siberian tigers are within 500 heads and have been included in the endangered level of protection.

The life span of the Northeast tiger is generally less than 20 years.

When a tiger is born, it needs to grow and learn under the careful care of its mother for 18-22 months, and when it grows into a "young tiger", it leaves its mother and establishes its own territory.

Female "young tigers" will not be too far away from their mothers and will build their own territories close to them.

Sometimes, the female will also give up her territory to her daughter and rebuild her territory next to her.

The male "young tigers" are completely different in that they will move away from their mothers and even travel thousands of miles to find and establish their territories.

The main reason for the male tigers to stay away from their mothers and sisters is to avoid inbreeding.

When the tiger reaches adulthood, it first needs to establish its own territory.

Only when they have their own territories can they "marry and have children".

The territory of the tiger is usually very large, especially for the males.

The tiger mainly preys on medium and large mammals such as sheep, deer, and wild boars, but sometimes also birds, bears, and some small mammals.

They hide quietly in the bushes, and once a target approaches.

They come out at a fast speed, pounce on the prey, grab the neck and muzzle with their claws, twist off the head, and then it's time to enjoy the prey slowly.

Will Northeast tigers attack humans?

Generally, no.

This is because the Northeast tigers, who grew up in the wild, rarely come into contact with humans and are relatively unfamiliar with them.

When they see humans, they do not associate them with their prey.

Wild Northeast tigers are actually more afraid of people, and their first choice after encountering humans is not to attack, but to turn away.

Secondly, the main food of wild Northeast tigers is various hoofed animals, such as: roe deer, wild boar, deer, etc.

The body structure of these animals and humans have obvious differences, and Northeast tigers will not mistake humans as prey.
