Cats of the Amur Region

Siberian TigerBoth Amur Tigers (formerly called Siberian tigers) and Amur Leopards live in the Russian Far East.

Portland's Russian sister city, Khabarovsk, is in this region, and tigers have been known to walk into the town! The leopards live further south.

The region is named for the Amur River, which forms the border between Russia and China.
