The Amur tiger is much bigger than its southern kin and its night vision is five times better than man’s. The tiger has long been regarded as an endangered species. The efforts of experts who protect wild animals have, however, been successful and as of 2007, the Amur tiger no longer faces extinction.
This northernmost feline can be the size of a big dog. In Russia, 90 percent of he lynx population lives in Siberia. The beast is most dangerous if you forget to look up into the trees because you are engrossed in picking mushrooms or berries. The lynx usually attacks its prey from above and targets the neck, but it does not usually attack people. It only approaches human dwellings in exceptional cases: a very hungry lynx can break into a henhouse or hunt domestic rabbits.
For fur trappers, the wolverine is pure hell. A cunning and strong animal, a mix between a bear cub and a dog, it easily avoids all traps and even kills and devours game caught in a trap. Indigenous people of the Siberian north believe that the wolverine, not the bear, is the master of the taiga. Unlike wolves, which, once they have assuaged their hunger, might abandon the prey and go on a new hunt, the wolverine tears up the carcass, and hides pieces in various places and will not leave the area until it has eaten everything, including the bones. The wolverine is one of few animals that cannot be tamed even if several generations live in captivity. The wolverine avoids man and attacks only in extreme cases.
