Description
Siberian tiger skull replica measures 14.5 x 10.0 x 7.2 inches. The Panthera tigris skull is a museum-quality polyurethane cast from Californina Academy of Sciences specimen. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
The Siberian tiger is the giant of the cat world. Males can weigh 600 pounds. They reach 10 feet long from nose to tail tip. This powerful hunter lives in the freezing forests of eastern Russia and Siberia. A thick coat and stocky build protect the cat from harsh winters. This solitary predator fiercely guards its territory.
The coat features a pale orange or rusty-yellow color. Fewer, narrower dark brown stripes mark its fur. Thick white fur covers its chest, belly and muzzle. It has small, rounded ears to prevent heat loss in freezing weather. White spots mark the black back of its ears. A female tiger welcomes a litter of two to four cubs every two to three years.
This massive cat hunts prey like red deer, wild boar, and moose. It relies heavily on stealth and camouflage to stalk close to its target. The tiger hides behind rocks and thick brush until it is within pouncing distance. Then, it rushes forward with explosive speed to leap onto the animal.
It uses its immense weight, huge paws and strength to wrestle the prey to the ground. The tiger delivers a crushing bite to the throat to kill the animal.
