Thankfully, the Chinese have taken steps toward a plan to protect the remaining South China tigers. The few remaining wild tigers live in southern China.SUMATRAN TIGER - Even though the Sumatran is one of the smallest tiger subspecies, it still is a pretty big cat and is the length of a school cafeteria table! The remaining tigers of this subspecies, about three hundred live on the small island of Sumatra.Extinct Tigers:Three of the nine subspecies are now extinct. The Bali tiger met its demise in the 1940s, the Caspian in the 1970s and the Javan in the 1980s.There were originally nine subspecies of tiger, the Javan, the Bali, the Caspian, the Indochinese, the Sumatran, the Bengal, the Siberian, the South China tiger, and the Malayan Tiger subspecies.
