A Tiger Question?

Question

Do all tiger species (whats left of them) live on the Asian Continent?

Answer 1

Scientists estimate that at the beginning of the 20th century 100,000 tigers flourished throughout Asia, from eastern Russia and Korea through eastern and southern China, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and into Pakistan, with separate populations around the Caspian Sea and on the Indonesian islands of Bali, Java, and Sumatra. At the start of the 21st century only 5,000 to 7,000 tigers lived in the wild in just 14 Asian countries: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar (formerly Burma), Nepal, North Korea, Russia, Sumatra, Thailand, and Vietnam. Tigers are now extinct in Bali, Java, and around the Caspian Sea, and nearly so in China and North Korea. Less than 20 percent of today’s tiger habitat is located in national parks or other protected areas, which means that the majority of the areas where tigers live could be lost to other uses, such as agriculture or urbanization.

Answer 2

I was under the impression that a good deal of Russia was actually in Asia and a part of the Asian continent. I believe at one point a part of USSR extended into eastern Europe. Sumatra and part of Indonesia would be part of Asia and not part of Australia? Or Oceania? Yes, all tigers live in Asia, some in Russia, some in India, and some in China....

Actually at this link in this picture in 1990 is green I don't even see any in Russia anymore. My texts must be outdated. Looks like parts of southeast Asia and islands and, well, you can see those countries if your geography knowledge is good.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5
