Meet our Siberian Tiger

Fushan

Hi I'm Fushan!

I'm the biggest cat at Cheetah Experience, weighing around 200kg. Even though I'm really big people tell me I'm very sweet, and I like to chuff (which is my way of saying hello) at people that walk past my home. I also love swimming, so you might catch me playing in my dam.

The Siberian tiger, a subspecies of tiger, is the largest cat in the world. It averages about 3.3 m (11 ft.) in length, with a tail measuring 1 m (3 ft.). Adult male Siberian tigers can weigh up to 350 kg.  Siberian tigers are solitary animals, marking their scent on trees to keep other tigers away. They roam many miles and hunt often. They stalk their prey, which include elk, boar, bears, and deer, until they are close enough to pounce. When successful, they drag their kill to a secluded area before devouring the meat. Tigers also hunt smaller animals like rabbits, pikas, and fish.
