Siberian Tiger
Coming in fourth place on the list is the Siberian tiger. The Siberian Tiger’s population is currently about 500. In the nineteenth century three tiger species went extinct, the Bali, Caspian and Javan Tigers. The Siberian Tiger is predicted to go extinct by 2050 if no effective action is taken. Tigers are the largest of all wild cats and are renowned for their power and strength. There were once eight tiger subspecies, but three became extinct during the 20th century. Over the last hundred years, hunting and forest destruction have reduced overall tiger populations from hundreds of thousands to perhaps 3,000 to 5,000. Tigers are hunted as trophies and also for body parts that are used in traditional Chinese medicine. All five remaining tiger subspecies are endangered, and many protection programs are in place. Poaching is a reduced—but still very significant—threat to Siberian tigers.
