ALL Tiger species

1. Sumatran Tiger

The Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica) is a tiger population that lives in the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It was listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List in 2008, as the population was estimated at 441 to 679 individuals, with no subpopulation larger than 50 individuals and a declining trend.

2. Amur (or Siberian) tiger (Panthera tigris altaica)

The Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris tigris), also called Amur tiger, is a tiger population inhabiting mainly the Sikhote Alin mountain region in southwest Primorye Province in the Russian Far East. The Siberian tiger once ranged throughout Korea, Northeast China, Russian Far East, and eastern Mongolia. In 2005, there were 331–393 adult and subadult Siberian tigers in this region, with a breeding adult population of about 250 individuals. The population had been stable for more than a decade due to intensive conservation efforts, but partial surveys conducted after 2005 indicate that the Russian tiger population was declining.

3. Indian (or Bengal) tiger (Panthera tigris tigris)

The Bengal tiger, also known as the Royal Bengal Tiger or the Indian tiger, is the subspecies with the largest population. It is the national animal of India, place where its image is part of the traditions and the culture. In Bangladesh, it is also the national animal present even in the bills.

4. South China tiger (Panthera tigris amoyensis)

The South China tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) is a tiger population in the provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangxi in southern China. The population has been listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List since 1996, and is possibly extinct in the wild since no wild individual has been recorded since the early 1970s. Already in the late 1990s, continued survival was considered unlikely due to low prey density, widespread habitat degradation and fragmentation, and other human pressures. The name Amoy tiger was used in the fur trade. It is also known as the South Chinese, the Chinese, and the Xiamen tiger.

5. Malayan tiger (Panthera tigris jacksoni)

The Malayan tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) is a tiger population that inhabits the southern and central parts of the Malay Peninsula, and has been classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List in 2015. The population was roughly estimated at 250 to 340 adult individuals in 2013, likely comprises less than 200 mature breeding individuals and has a declining trend. In the Malay language, the tiger is called harimau, also abbreviated to rimau

6. Indo-Chinese tiger (Panthera tigris corbetti)

The Indochinese tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) is a tiger population in Myanmar, Thailand, Lao PDR, Vietnam, Cambodia and southwestern China. It has been listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List since 2008, as the population seriously declined and approaches the threshold for Critically Endangered. As per 2011, the population was thought to comprise 342 individuals. The largest population unit survives in Thailand estimated at 189 to 252 individuals. There are 85 individuals in Myanmar, and only 20 Indochinese tigers remain in Vietnam. It is considered extinct in Cambodia.

7. Bali tiger (Panthera tigris balica) – EXTINCT

The Bali tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica) is an extinct tiger population that lived in the Indonesian island of Bali. Balinese names for the tiger are harimau Bali and samong.

8. Javan tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica) – EXTINCT

The Javan tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica) is an extinct tiger population that lived in the Indonesian island of Java until the mid 1970s. It was hunted to extirpation and its natural habitat converted for human use. It was one of the three tiger populations in the Sunda Islands.

9. Caspian tiger (Panthera tigris virgata) – EXTINCT

The Caspian tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) is an extinct tiger population. Until the end of the 20th century, it inhabited sparse forests and riverine corridors in the region from eastern Turkey, Mesopotamia, the Caucasus, west and south of the Caspian Sea in Iran through Central Asia to Xinjiang in western China. Results of phylogeographic analysis indicate that the Caspian and Siberian tiger populations shared a common continuous geographic distribution until the early 19th century, that became fragmented due to human influence.
