<P> The Siberian tiger ( Panthera tigris tigris ) , also called Amur tiger , is a tiger population inhabiting mainly the Sikhote Alin mountain region in southwest Primorye Province in the Russian Far East . The Siberian tiger once ranged throughout Korea , Northeast China , Russian Far East , and eastern Mongolia . In 2005 , there were 331 -- 393 adult and subadult Siberian tigers in this region , with a breeding adult population of about 250 individuals . The population had been stable for more than a decade due to intensive conservation efforts , but partial surveys conducted after 2005 indicate that the Russian tiger population was declining . An initial census held in 2015 indicated that the Siberian tiger population had increased to 480 -- 540 individuals in the Russian Far East , including 100 cubs . This was followed up by a more detailed census which revealed there was a total population of 562 wild Siberian tigers in Russia . </P>
