　　Siberian Tiger is the largest feline (猫科动物) in the world and is known as the king of the forest. In the 1980s, it was listed as one of the first­class national protected animals of China. To preserve this valuable species, the Siberian Tiger Park was built in 1996 in Heilongjiang Province.

　　The park is located on the north bank of the Songhua River to the northwest of Harbin, occupying an area of 1,440,000 square meters. It is the largest natural park for wild Siberian tigers in the world at present. There are over 500 purebred (纯种的) Siberian tigers here. What's more, visitors can also see white tigers, lions, leopards, and pumas as well as Bengali tigers.

　　It is a large park divided into ten areas, including the mature tiger area, the young tiger area, the walking area and the platform area for viewing the tigers.

　　The mature tiger area has an area of 360,000 square meters with 30 unruly (难驾驭的) Siberian tigers wandering there. The tigers in this area are all about 7 or 8 years old. And in the young tiger area, there are over 40 young lovely, active tigers about 2 years old. Visitors can see some of them playing and fighting with each other in a pool nearby, and others are kept in the walking area, staying together.

　　For visitors who love to see exciting activities, the park is also a perfect place. In addition to viewing the tigers walking leisurely in the open air, visitors can buy animals to feed them, including ducks, chickens, and even cows. Park employees will set the living animals free among the tigers. Visitors can see the unique live action of tigers preying on (捕食) them.

　　In addition, there is a free Popular Science Exhibition Hall in the park. In the exhibition hall, people can see information on tigers in pictures and samples as well as in words, which helps to complete what we know.
