The South China Tiger lives in Central and Eastern China.
These areas were once occupied by Bengal Tigers, Siberian Tigers, and Indochinese Tigers too, but these ones are no longer found here.
Ideally, South China Tigers prefer dense jungles, and enjoy spending time in the water.
The loss of habitat is a major problem for them.
They typically live in the mountains, evergreen forests, and dense humid forests.
Their habitats are generally not spacious enough for them to thrive.
Typical ranges for these tigers are smaller than 200 square miles, reports the World Wildlife Fund.
Commercial tree harvesting and livestock are two other major reasons behind the decrease in habitat.
Poaching also has reduced their numbers.
These tigers only live in China
The red above is the only area where the South China Tiger lives in the wild.
