Estimated numbers: Amur tigers are Endangered in the wild, and it's estimated that there's around 540 in the wild.
Found: Amur-Heilong, which covers parts of north-eastern China and the Russian Far East.
Notable features: Amur tigers are thought to be the palest tiger subspecies and can reach up to 250kg and three metres in length!
Key fact: By the 1940s, fewer than 40 Amur tigers were thought to remain in the wild. The Amur subspecies was saved from extinction when Russia became the first country in the world to grant its resident tigers full conservation protection.
Amur tigers are seriously endangered in the wild - there may be as few as 540 left in the Russian Far East.
