Snarling tiger. All species of tigers are endangered. Of the worlds eight Panthera tigris subspecies, three have been snuffed out (the Caspian,the Bali, and the Javan). Remaining (under perilous circumstances) are the Bengal (Indian), South China, Indochinese, Sumatran, and Siberian (Amur). No one knows how many wild tigers are alive today. The commonly cited estimate of 5,000 to 7,000 is a guess. What is certain is that if tigers are to survive in nature, they need massive human intervention.
