Six types of tigers
There are currently six
subspecies of tigers. The different subspecies are found in areas of Asia, India, and Russia. The largest subspecies is found in snowy areas of Russia. The smallest and darkest subspecies is found farther south, in the jungles of Indonesia. Tigresses (females) are always smaller than males.
Siberian or Amur tiger Panthera tigris altaica— The largest of the tiger subspecies, males can be as long as a station wagon! These tigers also have the palest orange coat and the fewest stripes.
Bengal or Indian tiger Panthera tigris tigris— This is the most common subspecies of tiger.
Indochinese tiger Panthera tigris corbetti— These tigers are about 20 percent smaller and are darker than Bengal tigers.
Malayan tiger Panthera tigris jacksoni — This is the subspecies at the San Diego Zoo.
South China tiger Panthera tigris amoyensis— These tigers are slightly smaller than the Indochinese subspecies. In the 1950s, the Chinese government ordered that these tigers be destroyed because they were viewed as
pests. Today, there are less than 30 South China tigers left in the wild. Thankfully, the Chinese have taken steps toward a plan to protect the remaining South China tigers.
Sumatran tiger Panthera tigris sumatrae— Even though the Sumatran is the smallest tiger subspecies, it’s still a pretty big cat. Imagine a tiger the same length as a school cafeteria table!
