Metsikult püütud tiigrite arv on langenud 37-ni. LÕUNA-HIINA / AMOY TIIGER Lõuna-hiina tiiger on ohustatuim kõigist alamliikidest. Elupaigaks on tal Hiina kesk- ja idaosa ning arvukuseks hinnatakse 10-30 tiigrit, kes elavad metsikult looduses. 40 lõuna-hiina tiigrit elab loomaaedades, kõik Hiinas. Isase tiigri pikkuseks on u. 2,5 m, kaal ligikaudselt 150 kg. Emane tiiger on veel väiksem, pikkus u. 2,3 m ja kaal 110 kg. Võrreldes bengali ja siberi tiigriga paiknevad lõuna-hiina tiigri lühikesed, laiad triibud laiemate vahedega. Hiina
