The South China tiger is the most critically endangered of all tiger subspecies. It is estimated there are at most about 30 South China tigers in the wild and 48 in captivity.

The South China tiger can be found in central and eastern China.

The short, broad stripes of this tiger are spaced far apart compared to those of Bengal and Siberian tigers.

The male tiger averages 2.5 meters from head to tail and weigh about150 kg. The female is smaller, measuring about 2.3 meters in length and weighing approximately 110 kg.

Because there are so few wild South China tigers, there is not a lot of information about this tiger.

Moreover, if the situation of the South China tiger does not improve very soon, then they will not survive much longer.
