The cold never bothered them anyway! šŸ…Meet the Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaica). Males can weigh as much as 660 pounds (299 kilograms) and reach lengths of 10 feet (3 meters) from head to tail, making this cat one of the largest in the world. It has thicker fur than other tigers to help keep it warm in the harsh conditions of its cold habitat. It also has extra neck fur, which acts like a built-in scarf. Unfortunately, this subspecies is being threatened by the effects of climate change. Rising temperatures and intense wildfires are reshaping this big cat’s home and threatening its food supply, as pine forests that provide dense coverage and abundant prey give way to a less hospitable habitat.
