Extended data:
Tigers are unique to Asia. Its distribution range is extremely wide, from coniferous forests in the outer Xing 'an Mountains to open grasslands and then to tropical swamps. They have a strong sense of territory and will divide their own geographical scope and live alone. They usually need a large area of habitat to meet a considerable number of prey.
Accompanied by this fact, its preference for habitats overlaps with some densely populated areas on the earth, which leads to serious conflicts with human interests. Of the nine subspecies of modern tigers, three are extinct, the remaining six are listed as endangered, and some are extremely endangered.
At the beginning of the 20th century, there were about 654.38 million tigers, but now WWF estimates that there are only 2450 tigers left in the world. Although most of the remaining tigers are protected by the government, illegal hunting is still banned. Habitat loss and genetic diversity decline are also great threats. The number of wild tigers in the world is estimated to be 3062 ~ 3948. WWF estimated the number of tigers at 3,200.
