     Did you know:The South China Tiger is a tiger subspecies that was native to the provinces of Fujian ,Guangdong ,Hunan ,Jiangxi in southern China and has been critically endangered on the IUCN Red List since 1996.

     It is possibly extinct in the wild since no wild individual has been recorded since the early 1970s.Already in the late 1990s, continued survival was considered unlikely due to low prey density, widespread habitat degradation and fragmentation,and other human pressures.

      The South China Tiger is in Orange, Black, White in colour with black stripes.The special features of this tiger is Stripped fur and powerful body.

       It is the most critically endangered species of tiger and one of the 10 most endangered animals in the world,as there are thought to be less than 20 South China Tigers left in the wild

      

                       Sumatran Tiger

            Scientific Name: Panthera Tigris Sumatra's

           Conservation Status: Endangered(population decreasing)

      Did you know:There are  approximately 300 Sumatran tigers existing in the wild.Sumatran tigers are the smallest surviving tiger subspecies.The Sumatran tiger is able to move through dense jungle with greater ease than it's larger cousins

    The Sumatran tiger is in Orange,Black, White with striped fur and smaller body.

Sumatran tigers have slightly webbed paws which allows them to swim more efficiently after their prey

    Today due to habitat loss caused by deforestation,and hunting by human poachers, the Sumatran tiger is considered to be a critically endangered species.Modern estimates suggests that the current wild Sumatran tiger population is as low as 400-500 individuals
