Answers:
Sub-species of Tiger found around the globe:
There are eight subspecies of Tiger in all:
- The Bengal (Panthera tigris tigris) aka Royal Bengal or Indian Tiger)

- The Sumatran (Panthera tigris sumatrae), the Siberian (Panthera tigris altaica) aka Amur or Manchurian Tiger )

- The Indochinese (Panthera tigris corbetti) aka Malaysian Tiger)

- The South China Tiger (Panthera tigris amoyensis)

The above remaining 5 subspecies are all on the brink of extinction.

The other three subspecies are all extinct. They are as follows:
- The Javan (Panthera tigris sondaica)

- The Caspian (Panthera tigris virgata)

- The Bali Tiger (Panthera tigris balica)
As far as I know, Siberian and Bengal tigers. There may be more, like the Detroit Tigers.
.i think somewhere around 5-7
Tigers (Panthera tigris) are mammals of the Felidae family and one of four "big cats" in the Panthera genus. They are superpredators and the largest and most powerful of the living cats
there's about 8 different kinds or more!
Earlier there were 8 kinds of tigers but human killing has left only 5 kinds of them. These are

1. Amur (Siberian) tigers

3. Indo-chinese tigers
4. South China tigers
5. Sumatran tigers
