The largest member of the cat family is the Siberian tiger, also known as the Amur tiger. Males can weigh between 400-600 pounds and measure up to 10 feet, including their tail. Found primarily in the forested areas of eastern Russia, they have a distinctive orange coat with black stripes that help them camouflage in their environment.
