Malayan tigers are found only on the Malay Peninsula, or the southern tip of Thailand, and there are as few as 250 left in the wild.

You got the SOUTH CHINA TIGER! Today, the South China tiger is considered by scientists to be “functionally extinct,” as it has sadly not been sighted in the wild for more than 25 years. Once peaking at a population of over 4,000, the South China tiger spanned the region from Hunan and Jiangxi in the north, all the way to Hong Kong. However, the tiger became too dominant and thousands were culled as part of pest control measures. The Government of China banned hunting in the late 70s and has since declared the goal to reintroduce South China Tigers into the wild again.

You got the CASPIAN TIGER! They were once one of the world's largest tigers, weighing nearly 300lbs! Until the 1960s, the tigers roamed Central Asia, from the Caspian Sea, stretching all the way from Turkey through to north-west China. It inhabited mostly seasonally flooded riverine land, consisting of trees, shrubs, and dense stands of tall reeds. However, extensive poisoning and trapping, not to mention the destruction of their natural habitat ultimately led to their extinction in the 1970s. Scientists now plan to reintroduce tigers into Central Asia using Amur tigers from the Russian Far East, which are a close relation.
