Amur Tiger

Russia hosts one of the hardiest tigers to see. However, there are now around 500 Amur tigers roaming the remote far east of Russia, up from less than 40 in the 1940s,  this population has also had great gains. Unfortunately there is little habitat for this population to grow much more, however recent genetic analysis has shown that the Amur tiger and the Caspian tiger (which lived in the far west of Russia, as well as various other countries around here like Turkey) is not distinct enough to be a separate subspecies. As such, should space be found here, perhaps Amur tigers should be translocated west to repopulate these long empty tiger ranges.
