6 Tigers Left

One of the areas I was thinking on focusing on was tigers, but sadly there was only ever 9 species 3 of which are now extinct. Although I'm not going to use Tigers for this project this issue could be a nice subject matter for a personal project or something to think about for the book fair, also because I did bears last year it would be nice to see consistent themes for each year.

The Bali tiger met its demise in the 1940's
The Caspian in the 1970's
The Javan in the 1980's

There were originally nine subspecies of tiger, the Javan, the Bali, the Caspian, the Indochinese, the Sumatran, the Bengal, the Siberian, the South China tiger, and the Malayan Tiger subspecies. With the now three extinct species, this leaves just six subspecies living today, and currently one of those, the South China Tiger is considered by some to possibly, already be extinct in the wild.
