India has the most, nearly 1850 or more reside there. Nepal has around 200, Bhutan 60-81, and a further 270-400 in the Bangladesh Sundarbans region.
None seen there in years, but they can appear at any time in a litter.
Tigers can still be found in the wild in Russia, China, India, Viet Nam, Sumatra, and Malaysia.
White Siberian Tigers have never existed. The only tigers known to produce white offspring are Bengal Tigers. No other species of tiger has ever been documented as white.
White tigers have not become extinct. They are a rare color variant of the Bengal tiger and still exist in captivity. However, in the wild, white tigers are extremely rare due to the genetic mutation that causes their coloration.
the Bengal tiger is at the top of the food chain, but still other tigers will eat the grown up. the cubs are eaten by all of the carnivores.

There are less than 3,500 wild tigers in the world - and less than 1,400 in India. They are very close to extinction in the wild. That said- they breed well in the care of humans and the gene pool can survive if managed properly so that healthy Bengal tigers can still exist.
Yes. Ancient Chinese Medicine believes that Tigers body parts have medicinal properties. Because of this Tigers were killed extensively and indiscriminately. Because of this, they were pushed to near extinction. India, China and all neighboring countries where the Bengal Tiger lives have banned hunting and so, the tiger population is slowly recovering Even though countries have banned hunting tigers, poachers kill tigers once in a while. on an average 15 to 20 tigers get killed by poachers. They kill these animals to sell them in the Chinese black market
about 2000 or 20000 or so
White tigers are not a distinct subspecies but are a genetic mutation of the Bengal tiger. Their white coloration results from a recessive gene, which makes them rare in the wild. While their population has dwindled due to habitat loss and poaching, some may still exist in remote areas where they can evade human contact. However, most white tigers are found in captivity, as the mutation is not advantageous for survival in the wild.
Maltese tigers may exist, because they are very likely to have been born to regular orange or white tigers.
None known currently in the wild, but several hundred white Bengal tigers in captivity. Also, there are a few Bengal/Siberian hybrid white tigers in captivity. The Bengal is the only subspecies known to carry the allele that makes them white.
