Siberian Tigers - Description

Siberian Tigers are very massive and powerful with heavily muscled limbs and shoulders. All their body is adapted to hunt large prey. Hind limbs of a Siberian Tiger are longer than forelimbs to facilitate jumping. Their paws are very large and equipped with long retractile claws that are ideal for grabbing and holding the prey.

The jaws are very strong and the teeth are sharp. Eyes of a Siberian Tiger are situated in the front that allows for evaluating the distances better. These creatures are able to peel skin away from the prey and rasp flesh away from bone with a rough tongue. Siberian Tigers have a loose skin in the belly to minimize the hurt of kicking by prey.
