Do you know that in the early 1900s, there were around 100,000 tigers throughout their range. Today, an estimated total of around 3,000-4,500 exist in the wild. Can you imagine that? Sounds absurd, but it's true.
Below is a breakdown of numbers by subspecies.
Bengal tiger: less than 2,000
Indochinese tiger: 750-1,300
South Chinese tiger: less than 20
Siberian tiger: around 450
Sumatran tiger: 400-500
Malayan tiger: less than 500
Caspian tiger: extinct
Javan tiger: extinct
