Current population
Around 2,000 left in the wild.
Biggest threat
The poaching of tigers for our skins and for use in traditional Asian medicines, and poaching of our prey. Habitat loss is also forcing us into smaller and smaller areas.
That’s a fact!
I will typically travel between 6-12 miles during one night’s hunting.
