Description
Also known as the Siberian tiger, this species of big cat was on the verge of extinction in the 1940s. There were only about 40 left due to extensive hunting in the Russian Far East. However, the number began increasing when Russia granted the tiger full protection. The species' number is rising, with about 450 known to be in the wild. Grom is nearly 10 years old and weighs 300 pounds, and came to the Philadelphia Zoo from Colorado's Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.
