All tigers are endangered. Some more so than others.The Bengal and Indochinese races are the most common,with around 1500 cats each. Then come the Siberian and Sumatran,with 600 each. The south china tiger has not been positively seen the wild for over 20 years and maybe gone from the wild. Some experts say there may be around twenty left. A re-wilding project is underway in South Africa to teach zoo born south china tigers to hunt so they can be released in their former range. Three races,the Caspian, Javan and Bali tigers are gone forever.

yes, all subspecies of the tiger are, in fact, there are more "pet"tigers in Texas than in the wild. however you cant really call a "pet'' tiger a real tiger, since they have never learned to hunt and will not survive in the wild, a mother tiger who gives birth in captivity will not be able to learn her cubs to hunt, and so on, so it is extremely difficult to reintroduce them in the wild once they are gone

Why is the thylacine dangerous?

The Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger, was never endangered, as the various conservation status levels were not in force before it became extinct. It was moved to "extinct" status as a result of being hunted as a possible threat to livestock in Tasmania following European settlement. The last known Tasmanian Tiger died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936.
