Siberian or Amur Tigers

The Siberian also known as the Amur tiger looks a lot like all the other tigers I have mentioned. However, they too are quite different. These tigers typically live along the forests of the Amur River and feast on mostly red deer and wild boar. Their population is roughly only 400 left in the world with their number decreasing each year.

IndoChinese Tigers

This tiger looks very similar to the Bengal Tiger by the picture above. However, they are quite different from one another. This tiger has nearly half the population of a Bengal at around 2,000 in the world. They primarily live in the South East Asian states and their primary diet is ungulates, sambar deer, wild pigs, serow, and large bovids.

Bengal Tiger

The Bengal Tiger is the most common tiger around. Their world population is approximately 4,000 and the mostly live in the Indian Subcontinent areas of the world. Their primary diet consists of chital, sambar, and gaur. There is even a National Football League (NFL) team named after this type of tiger called "The Cincinnati Bengals". This is quite a beautiful yet gruesome animal.
