The South China tiger is a population of the Panthera tigris tigris subspecies that is native to southern China.[2] The population mainly inhabited the Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan and Jiangxi provinces. It has been listed as Critically Endangered on the China's Red List of Vertebrates[3] and is possibly extinct in the wild since no wild individual has been recorded since the late 1980s.[4] In the late 1990s, continued survival was considered unlikely because of low prey density, widespread habitat degradation and fragmentation, and other environmental issues in China.[5] In the fur trade, it used to be called Amoy tiger.[6]
