They inhabit diverse habitats, from cold coniferous Himalayan forests, to the mangroves of the Sunderbans, to wet forests of northern India. Males average about 9.5 feet in length, from head to tail, and weigh about 480 pounds. Females are smaller, about 8 feet in length and 300 pounds. They prey primarily on wild deer and cattle. They are mostly found in the remote forests of Thailand, Myanmar, southern China, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and Peninsular Malaysia.
Indochinese tigers are smaller and darker than Bengal tigers, and have shorter and narrower stripes.
Males are generally about 9 feet in length, head to tail, weighing 400 pounds. The smaller females are 8 feet in length, and weigh about 250 pounds. Their primary prey is wild pig, deer, and wild cattle. This subspecies, found in central and eastern China, is the most endangered of all tigers and the closest to becoming extinct. Chinese biologists estimate about 10-40 remaining in the wild.
