The Siberian is referred to as the stereotype tiger mainly because it is the most commonly known type of tiger around the world even though it is not actually one of the six subspecies. Most people do not know what the subspecies are and how to tell them apart. The first on the list is the Amur, or Siberian, tiger.It is found in eastern Russia mainly, with some in northeastern China northern North Korea.

It lives in thick forests that are covered with snow in winter. Its appearance is Paler colouring than most other tiger breeds, with brown rather than black stripe's.It also has a thick white ruff of fur round its neck. It is the largest cat in the world; up to 3.3m head to tail, about 300kg for average male.

There are less than 350 in the wild. Next is the Bengal tiger Found in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Burma. Can be found anywhere from cold malayan forests to hot swamps to wet forests of north India to dry forests of Rajasthan.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
