The answer to the question about in which natural zone the tiger lives can be found in this article. In addition, all subspecies of predators living on the planet belonging to this feline species are considered here.
What natural zone does the tiger live in?
An interesting fact is that this beautiful, strong animal lives exclusively in Asia. That is, in the nature of tigers there is neither America, nor Africa, nor Australia. Even in Europe, they are found exclusively in captivity.
But specifically to the questions about where the tigers live, in which zone they live, it is definitely impossible to answer. After all, the range of their habitat relative to natural areas is quite wide. You can meet this big cat in humid tropical forests and taiga in the north of Siberia, in dry savannas and semi-deserts, in mangrove swamps, on bare rocky hills and in bamboo tropical thickets, in mountains at an altitude of three thousand meters above sea level and in the Primorsky Territory.
Amur tiger
To date, scientists distinguish nine modern subspecies of the tiger. Unfortunately, three of them are already destroyed by people. Only the Amur tiger lives on the territory of Russia. Although earlier in the former republics of the Soviet Union it was still possible to meet the largest animal of this species. But the last Transcaucasian tiger, weighing 240 kilograms, was shot dead in southeast Turkey in 1970.
Speaking of the natural zone in which the Amur tiger lives, we should mention the taiga, Khabarovsk and Primorsky Krai, tropical mountainous areas (in North Korea) and the moderately humid and semi-humid zone of coniferous forests (in the north-eastern part of China). To date, about five hundred individuals of this largest of the currently living felines have been registered.
Bengal tiger
These animals on the earth number more than four thousand, although this figure is conditional. Answering the question "in which natural zone does the Bengal tiger live", zoologists list all biotopes, from tropical rainforests to dry savannas and mangroves. These are the countries of Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh, India. Most of the representatives of this subspecies are concentrated in India.
Indochinese tiger
These beauties live in Vietnam, Thailand, southern China, Malaysia, Laos and Cambodia. There are today from 1200 to 1600 individuals. A huge danger to the population is Chinese medicine. In this regard, almost three quarters of the tigers inhabiting the country were destroyed in Vietnam. Today, poaching is minimized, but it is already quite difficult to correct the situation.
Malay Tiger
This subspecies was identified relatively recently. Until 2004, it was attributed to the Indochinese population of tigers. They inhabit the south of the island of Malacca. There are about 800 individuals left, which puts them in third place in terms of numbers among all subspecies.
Sumatran Tiger
This is the smallest subspecies of those living in nature. Answering the question about in which natural zone the Sumatran tiger is located, in jest you can give the following answer: in the reserve. Although seriously speaking, it would be more correct to say that this subspecies inhabits the tropical forests of the island of Sumatra.
