  Tigers are an endangered species.  The Siberian tiger is the most prominent, living in areas where winter is so extremely cold that humans are not around.  Despite this, tigers in the wild are on the verge of extinction.

  Some of the countries you might find a tiger today include: Russia, China, India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam.

  There were eight species of Tigers in the world.  Three are now extinct and the five left are extremely endangered.  The species that are now extinct have disappeared sometime from 1950 to late 1980's.  It is up to us to protect and perhaps re-introduce the Tiger back into some kind of protected habitat, or soon there will not be any Tigers left in the world.
