The Amur tiger is the biggest northern predatory cat in the world. It is also called the Far Eastern tiger (by the name of the region) or the Ussuri tiger (by the name of the taiga). Foreigners, for some reason, call it the Siberian Tiger. But the Amur tiger is the official name.
It is an endangered and protected animal species. Some of them live in reserves, but 80% of the population lives in the wild in the taiga. Nature reserves are not like zoos. Animals have no restrictions on movement and hunting. Inspectors carefully protect the territory from poachers and rescue injured animals.

Droughts are common in Australia. The rainfall in the country is rather small, and that’s why a special plan was worked out for irrigation of plains.
