The Siberian tiger is reddish-rusty, or rusty-yellow in colour which turns very pale during winter, with narrow dark-brown transverse stripes. It has an extended supple body, comparatively short legs and a fairly long tail. The Siberian tiger has no natural predators in the wild because of its size. Similar to finger prints, no two tigers have the same stripes.
