Answer 2

Your question could have been googled. Well, anyways, here's the answer. There USED to be 9 different types of tigers (they were subspecies) That included the Bali, Caspian, Javan, but they are extinct. But, of course there is always the 6 other types. The Amur, or Siberian tiger is Found in eastern Russia mainly, with some in northeastern China northern North Korea. It lives in thick forests that are covered with snow in winter. The Amur has paler colouring, with brown rather than black stipes. White ruff of fur round neck. Largest cat in the world (just a little fact there.) It is up to 3.3m head to tail, about 300kg. This tiger is becoming extinct, because there is less than 350 in the wild.

Then there is the Bengal Tiger. Found in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Burma (Myanmar) From cold Himalayan forests to hot swamps to wet forests of north India to dry forests of Rajasthan Reddish orange fur with narrow black , grey or brown stripes. Underside is creamy white Up to 2.9m head to tail, about 140 kg Approx 3, 500 in the wild (I hope you like my little graph)

Then there is the Indochinese Tiger.

Mainly in Thailand, but also Burma, Cambodia, Laos, southern China, Vietnam, parts of Malaysia Live in forests in hilly to mountainous areas Reddish orange to dark yellow fur with black or dark grey stripes Up to

2.7m head to tail, about 115kg Less than 1000 in the wild (There's another graph.)

There's the Malay, or Maylayan Tiger.

Found only in the Malaysian part of the Malay peninsula. Hilly forest areas because lowland forests have been cleared for rubber and palm oil plantations. Appearance similar to Indo-Chinese tiger: it was not until 2004 that it was classified as a different subspecies. Up to

2.7m head to tail, about 120kg About 500 in the wild.

My favorite, the South China, or Amoy Tiger.

Found in central - eastern China Moist forests Short broad stripes widely spaced Up to 2.5 metres head to tail, about 150 kg 20-30 in the wild The most critically endangered of the tigers, and possibly already extinct I wish I could do something to help :(

Look! There's a Sumatran tiger! They are endangered.

Found only on the island of Sumatra Lives in forests, lowland to mountain areas It is the darkest and smallest of the tigers, suitable for its rainforest habitat Up to 2.4m head to tail, 90 kg Critically Endangered, about 240 left in the wild
