Description
A beautiful Siberian, or Amur Tiger chills in the water at the Indianapolis, Indiana Zoo. Who says cats are afraid of the water. This guy, a five year old male, isn't afraid of anything, except poachers. Also known as Panthera tigris altaica, this species of big cat was on the verge of extinction in the 1940s. There were only about 40 left due to extensive hunting in the Russian Far East. However, the number began increasing when Russia granted the tiger full protection. The species' number is rising. While there are around 450 tigers in the wild, they still need help.

Nice capture of his intense expression! Funny how tigers are one of the only members of the cat family who like being in water. l/f
