Beardsley Zoo's Siberian Tiger, Robeki, is a member of the Species Survival Plan (SSP) for Siberian Tigers.
They may be bred with other Siberian tigers in the United States or from other countries in order to keep their population healthy and stable.
Description: The Siberian tiger’s orange colour is actually paler than that of other tigers and it has widely spaced brown stripes rather than black. It has a white chest and belly and a thick ‘ruff’ of hair around its neck.
The Siberian tiger may be 13 ft (4 m) long, including the tail, and weigh 650 lb (290 kg), much larger than any lion. The coat of the tiger is orange-yellow with numerous prominent black stripes; black and albino specimens are sometimes found.
Amur tigers, also known as Siberian tigers, are located in northeast China, eastern Russia and parts of North Korea.
But in the late 19th century, during the construction of the Chinese Eastern Railway, and the ensuing influx of Russian settlers to the Far East, Siberian tigers were deliberately eradicated.
Sizes and Scales: The Polar bear is the largest living land carnivore, twice the weight of a Siberian tiger. Most adult males weigh from 400 to 600 kg (880 to 1300 lb) and exceptionally, up to 800 kg (1750 lb).
They range from the massive Siberian tiger (the largest recorded was a 348 Kg/ 845 lb male) down to the rusty spotted cat of Southern India and Sri Lanka which averages less than 1.5 kg / 3 Ibs in weight.
When I think of tigers, whether the white, striped Siberian tiger, or its smaller gold and black cousin, the Bengal tiger, my initial feeling is one of awe for its magnificent body and enormous strength.
Weight The Siberian tiger is the largest subspecies and males weigh from around 400-675 lbs, while the Sumatran tiger, the smallest living subspecies, weighs in from around 220-310 lbs. Females of all tiger subspecies are smaller than the males.
Amur tigers are better known as Siberian tigers, but their native range has shrunk so much due to habitat loss, they are now known for the Amur River.

Tigers are easily distinguished from other large cats by their black stripes against their orange and tan backgrounds and white underbellies. Some Siberian tigers have white backgrounds and are considered a subspecies of Panthera tigris.
