Reply to comment by Gnonthgol in Eli5: why are there tigers in Siberia but not in Scandinavia? by chosen-username
Amur Tigers (the largest species) survive just fine in Kamchatka, despite it's sometimes mountainous terrain. While they do prefer less hilly terrain, they manage just fine within it. The lack of human population is more important for their survival, hence why they have been pushed out of northern China.
