Best Answer

There are a total of nine Tiger subspecies, of those, six subspecies are alive today. While, there are three subspecies that are generally considered to have become extinct within the last century. Of course, proving that they were all killed off during this past century is almost impossible. But, documented proof or evidence hasn't been found recently. The most recently confirmed sighting was in 1979, of a Javan Tiger. For more details, please see sites listed below.

Human beings have been aware of the existence of tigers for hundreds of thousands of years, well before the start of recorded history. It's impossible to say if there ever was a single person who first "discovered" them.

It has been said that Indonesian tigers have been around since dinosaurs roamed our planet. As for other tigers like Bengals, ECT., probably after the dinosaurs became extinct!

They have been around as long as we have been around so it would run into pre history.
