no, it's not a siberian tiger. it's a pure bengal tiger. a wild bengal tiger in the snow.

Hello Peter, great write up as usual. 
OK my friend, Talk about North Indian and terai tigers, I remember a good news from a Himalayan country.
in July 2015, The first national survey of Bhutan tiger population has counted 103 tigers, a significant increase on the previous estimate of 75. 
really great news from a country known as the lost land of the tiger.

and here's some camera trap pictures from this Survey described as a “roaring success.”

and the video :

Good to know that there is thriving tiger population which indirectly says that Bhutan still has healthy ecosystem and good natural environment.
to me they seem to be among the largest bengal tigers together with assam (Kaziranga) and Nepal tigers. Reply
