WHERE DO TIGERS LIVE???
Tigers are found in a wide range of habitats in Asia and the Russian Far East, in increasingly fragmented and isolated populations. Less than 100 years ago, tigers prowled almost all of Asia. They could be found from the forests of eastern Turkey and the Caspian region of Western Asia, all the way to the Indian sub-continent, China, and Indochina, south to Indonesia, and north to the Korean Peninsula and the Russian Far East. Today, their range has been reduced to just 7% of its former size.
Tigers are now found in only 13 range states:
- Bangladesh
- Bhutan
- Cambodia
- China
- India
- Indonesia (Sumatra)
- Lao PDR
- Malaysia
- Myanmar
- Nepal
- Russia
- Thailand
