【双语】你好！中国 | 林中之王，东北虎

东北虎，又称西伯利亚虎，是虎的亚种之一，其原生分布区主要在中国东北的小兴安岭和长白山区，以及俄罗斯远东地区、朝鲜半岛的北部。目前，野生东北虎主要栖息在俄罗斯远东地区和中国的东北地区，尤其是黑龙江省和吉林省的山区。

The Amur tiger, also known as the Siberian tiger, is a subspecies of tiger originally distributed across the Lesser Khingan Mountains and the Changbai Mountains in northeast China, as well as the Russian Far East and northern parts of the Korean Peninsula. Currently, wild Amur tigers are mainly found in the Russian Far East and northeast China, particularly in the mountainous areas of Heilongjiang and Jilin Provinces.

东北虎是现存最大的猫科动物，成年雄虎身长可达2.5米以上，尾长1.3米以上，体重可达180-250公斤。东北虎以其特有的领域性守护着广袤的领地，作为顶级的捕食者，东北虎以其敏锐的洞察力和无与伦比的力量，傲视着食物链的顶端。

The Amur tiger is the largest living feline. An adult male can reach more than 2.5 meters in body length, with a tail over 1.3 meters, and weigh between 180 and 250 kilograms. With its keen vision and unparalleled strength, the Amur tiger stands as the supreme predator guarding vast territories and dominating the top of the food chain.

不过，作为力量象征的东北虎，也曾因栖息地被破坏的原因种群数量减少，为了守护这一濒危的国宝，中国已经将其列为国家一级保护动物，并倾注了巨大的努力与心血。从改善生态环境、加强保护执法，到提高公众保护意识，全方位地呵护着东北虎及其赖以生存的家园。

However, despite its symbolic power, the population of the Amur tiger once declined sharply due to habitat destruction. To protect this endangered national treasure, China has listed it as a Class I protected species and devoted immense efforts to its preservation. From improving ecological environments and strengthening law enforcement to raising public awareness of wildlife conservation, comprehensive measures have been taken to safeguard the Amur tiger and the habitats it depends on for survival.
