What are the different types of tiger?
The type of tigers includes the largest members of the cat family, have eating food and live in Asia. Although many people believe that each tiger is individual tiger species, in fact, everyone is considered a subspecies of a tiger. Of the nine subspecies of tigers, three are extinct and six are at risk. The subspecies are Indochin tiger, Malaysian tiger, Siberian tiger, Sumatran Tiger, Bengal tiger and southern China tiger, although the South Chinese tiger may actually be extinct. The type of tiger as a whole threatens to have less than 5,000 remaining in nature since 2010. It is not known how much in the world, although there have been only a few hundred since 2010. The main threats are poaching and fragmentation. Since 2010, the Indochina tiger has been marked as endangered in the International Union of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) The Red List of Endangered Species.
Sumatran Tiger Poddruh is located on Sumatra Island. In 2008 he was marked as criticaly endangered on the red list of endangered species IUCN. In 2010, it was estimated that there were only a few hundred Sumatran tigers in the wild. Their main threat is the destruction of their habitat, which in turn eliminates their usual source of food. Pychátní is also the main problem because they are hunted for their bones and skin.
The Malaysian Tiger was listed in 2004 as a subspecies of tigers. They live on the Malaysian Peninsula and it is believed that there are only a few hundred left in the wild. Due to logging and development of soil, livestock often hunt. As a result, many of them are killed by farmers. In 2008, the subspecies were marked as endangered on the red list of iofno -threatened species.
In 2008, which was the last tiger evaluation in South China since 2010, the subspecies have been described as critically endangered on the red list of endangered IUCN species. In fact, they may be extinct - since 2010 there has been no observation for more than two decades. Forests of southeast China were oro are their home. In addition to the destruction of the habitats, the campaigns to eradicate tigers subspecies by thousands over several decades have reduced the eradication of the tigers' subspecies.
, also known as Amur Tigers, is the Siberian tiger the largest of Tiger subspecies. They live in Russia and North Korea and China in extremely cold forest areas. The loss of habitats is one of the main threats for the Siberian tiger, but poaching is the biggest threat. Since 2010, the Siberian tiger has been marked as endangered on the red list of endangered IUCN species.
The Bengal Tiger, also known as the Indian Tiger, has the largest population of tigers 1 subspecies with almost 2,000 and its population is stable. The Bengal Tigers live in the forests of South Asia and pastures - most live in India. Since 2010, the Bengal Tiger has been marked as endangered on the red list of endangered IUCN species. As is usually true for tiger species as a whole, the main threats facing a Bengal tiger are the loss of habitat and poaching. White tigers that are rarely seen in the wild are not in the SCučelnosty other subspecies, but instead are a type of Bengal tiger.
