The first on the list is the Amur, or Siberian, tiger. It 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. Its apperance is Paler colouring than most other tiger breeds, with brown rather than black stipes. It also has a thick white ruff of fur round its neck. it is the largest cat in the world; up to 3.3m head to tail, about 300kg for average male. There are less than 350 in the wild.
Next is the Bengal tiger. Found in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Burma. Can be found anywhere from cold Himalayan forests to hot swamps to wet forests of north India to dry forests of Rajasthan. It is reddish orange fur with narrow black , grey or brown stripes. Its underside is creamy white. It can get up to 2.9m head to tail, about 140 kg for average male. 3, 500 in the wild.
3rd is the Indochinese tiger. It is mainly found in Thailand, but also Burma, Cambodia, Laos, southern China, Vietnam, parts of Malaysia. It likes to live in forests in hilly to mountainous areas. It bas reddish orange to dark yellow fur with black or dark grey stripes. Males get up to 2.7m head to tail, about 115kg. Less than 1000 in the wild.
4th is the Malay, or Malayan, tiger found only in the Malaysian part of the Malay peninsula. It only lives in hilly forest areas because lowland forests have been cleared for rubber and palm oil plantations. Appearance very similar to Indo-Chinese tiger and it was not until 2004 that it was classified as a different subspecies. It can get up to 2.7m head to tail, about 120kg and about 500 in the wild.

It is the darkest and smallest of the tigers, suitable for its rainforest habitat. Males get up to 2.4m head to tail, 90 kg. Also Critically Endangered, about 240 left in the wild.
