South China tiger
In 1905, the German zoologist Max Hilzheimer first described the South China tiger as similar in height to the Bengal tiger but differing in skull and coat characteristics. Their carnassials and molars are shorter than in the Bengal tiger samples; the cranial region is shorter with orbits set closer together, postorbital processes are larger. Their coat is lighter and more yellowish and the paws, face, and stomach appear more white; the stripes are narrower, more numerous and more sharp-edged.
