Panthera Tigris Altaica) Is the I Largest \ THE z 0 0 T Photo courtesy of Utica Observer-Dispatch/Darlene Drabik Of the eight subspecies of tigers, the SIBERIAN TIGER (Panthera tigris altaica) is the I largest. Mature males may reach a weight of 650 pounds. The smaller races, varying in color­ ation and size, are the Bengal, Indochinese, Chinese, Caspian, Javan, Sumatran, and Bali. The Siberian tiger is well adapted to life in the high-altitude forests of the Soviet Union. To blend with the snowy environment, the eat's long, thick fur is lighter in color than that c of the other tigers. In addition, large white patches of fur extend over the underside onto the flanks. In the winter, the animal develops a two-inch thick layer of insulating fat on the belly and flanks. Each tiger searches for a large territory contatning essential requirements: sufficient A amount of large prey, enough cover to stalk in safety, and a large water supply for drinking bathing. The boundaries of the home range are re-established by scent marking and • d. Relying mostly on a strong sense of hearing, the nomadic Siberian tiger hunts for deer, wild boar, lynx, badger, hares, bear, and fish. Utica Zoological Tigers are solitary animals except during the breeding season. The female produces a Society Newsletter litter of 2-3 cubs about every two years. Weighing 2-4 pounds at birth, the cubs will stay with their mother for at least 18 months. Vol. 18, No.2 Due to overhunting and loss of suitable habitat, Siberian tigers are an endangered species.

This is an exciting time to be working in the zoolog­ ical park field, because we are about to see if our accom­ plishments can keep pace with our rhetoric. Consider the effort, now under way, to implement a Species Survival Plan (SSP) for the Siberian tiger. When this subspecies was selected to be the first of many SSP's to come, a number of zoos immediately signed agreements to participate in an international effort to manage the captive stocks of Siberian tigers as a group, irrespective of their individual "ownership" by various zoos. The objective is the sustained production of this beautiful and rare cat for many generations to come. The idea was, and is, great. But now it is going to be up to the various signatories to the agreements to have their governing authorities (zoological societies, munic­ ipal governments, private corporations) provide the necessary resources to accomplish the goals. Our combined holding capacity for Siberian tigers is limited; therefore, the plan calls for participating institu­ tions to contribute their animals according to a mast, plan of breeding (and non-breeding, where desirable which would allow each zoo to breed some Siberians Notice: An Audited 1982 Financial Statement for occasionally to contribute to the required gene pool. the Utica Zoological Society is available upon Decisions wi II be derived from the pooled data from the request at the Zoo office.

Annual mean precipitation ranges from 13 inches in the northwest to more than 20 inches in the southeast. Average yearly temperature ranges from 37 degrees F in the northeast to 43 degrees in the south. January, the coldest month, average temperatures range from 2 degrees in the northeast to 17 degrees in the southwest. July, the warmest month, average temperatures range from 67 degrees in the northeast 73 degrees in the south. The all-time high was 121 degrees at Steele on July 6, 1936. The all-time low was -60 degrees at Parshall on February 15, 1936. Being 1,000 miles (1,609 km) from any large body of water (with the exception of Lake Superior), temperatures and precipitation in North Dakota can vary widely. North Dakota is far enough north to experience −60 °F (−51 °C) temperatures and blizzards during the winter months, but far enough south to experience 121 °F (49 °C) temperatures and tornado outbreaks in the summer.
