there are fewer than 20 of these tigers left in the world, and warn that it might become extinct within the next decade. One was recently born in a reserve in South Africa in November 2007, the first to be born outside China.
In October 2007, the forestry department of Zhenping county, Shaanxi published photographs of P. t. amoyensis in its native habitat, but these were later debunked after an investigation. The South China tiger is considered to be the “stem” tiger, the subspecies from which all other tigers descended. The South China tiger has been recently listed as one of the world's 10 most endangered animals.
The South China tiger is one of the smallest tiger subspecies. Male tigers measure about 2.6 m (8 ft) from head to tail and weigh about 150 kg (330 lb). Female tigers are smaller, measuring about 2.3 m (7 1/2 ft) long. They weigh approximately 110 kilograms (240 pounds). This tiger is an estimated 2-6 ft tall. The short, broad stripes of the South China tiger are spaced far apart compared to those of Bengal and Amur tigers.
The South China tiger, like all other subspecies of tigers, are pure carnivores. The South China tiger prefers prey ranging between 30-400 lbs and have been known to eat livestock like cows and goats in the past when their population was much higher. They are expert hunters and will stalk and follow their prey for hours. South China tigers have an average speed of around 35mph, faster than most of its prey species, but they do not have enough stamina to maintain their top speed for long. These big cats kill their prey with a bite to the back of its neck (usually for medium-sized prey) or use suffocation hold on the prey's throat (this is their preferred method of killing large-sized prey). South China tigers can feed on almost anything, from small insects to Gaurs. Many humans died from South China tiger attacks in the past and they have been known as man-eaters when their population was much higher.

The Tiger Foundation, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and Save China's Tigers (a UK based conservation group), are currently supporting the Chinese State Forestry Administration to train, equip and advise five Chinese field survey teams so that they can census the South China tigers presumed to remain. Any surviving tigers will be distributed in 11 protected areas within the provinces of Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangxi and Fujian in south central China. There are 19 reserves listed by the Chinese State Forestry Administration within the supposed range of the South China tiger, but they are spatially fragmented, and most are too small to support viable tiger populations.
InMarch 2001, The Tiger Foundation team conducted a training workshop in field methodology, including how to perform scientific interviews; execute techniques for tiger, prey, habitat quality and threat assessment; and use infrared camera technology as well as develop a GIS map-linked database of all field observations. Much of this technology and expertise was developed and perfected during the last five years of the groundbreaking Sumatran Tiger Project. For six months, beginning in the spring of 2001, two members of our team will accompany the Chinese field survey teams for several weeks. The objective is to find and photograph as many South China tigers as possible and to combine these photos with the relational tiger field database. Thus, the SFA can establish the location and number of South China tigers remaining in the wild, what their probability of survival is, and what is necessary to secure their future.
The South China tiger, Panthera tigris amoyensis, was formerly abundant in South China's temperate upland forests. Today its wide range has been reduced to three isolated areas in south-central China, where small and scattered populations are said to persist along the mountainous borders between provinces. As with the Black-footed Ferret, one of the biggest contributing factors to the South China tigers' dwindling population is the destruction of its prey base. Two other major factors that have contributed to the tiger’s decline are poaching and population fragmentation. South China tigers, like other tiger subspecies, live in dense jungles. South China tigers also love spending time in water, similar to other tiger subspecies.
Until the beginning of the 20th century, the South China tiger was distributed in many parts of southern and eastern China. In 1959, Mao Zedong, in the time of the Great Leap Forward, declared the tiger and other predators such as leopards and wolves to be pests and “enemies of the people”; as a result, several “anti-pest” campaigns started.[7] The tigers then were considered pests because they attacked farmers and villagers.[8] Becoming widely persecuted, their wild population of the South China tiger fell from more than 4,000 to less than 200 by 1982.[9] The Chinese government then reversed the classification of the tiger, banning hunting altogether in 1977, but this seems to have been too late. The South China tiger has not been seen in the wild for more than 20 years.[10] Today the estimated population of the South Chinese subspecies is 20-30 individuals found only in the Chinese provinces of Guangdong, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang. Tigers still found in southeast China belong to the Indochinese Tiger subspecies.
Since 1990, China’s State Forestry Administration has been leading the effort to save the South China tiger through the establishment of special Nature reserves for the 10-30 Chinese tigers thought to be left in the wild. A 1987 field survey by Chinese scientists reported a few tigers remaining in the Guangdong mountains bordering Hunan and Jiangxi, and another survey in 1990 noted evidence of about a dozen tigers in 11 reserves in the remote mountains of Guangdong, Hunan, and Fujian Provinces of South China. No tigers were seen. The only evidence came from anecdotal stories of former hunters.[5] China's few captive tigers are now part of a centrally registered studbook in an attempt to save this tiger from becoming the fourth tiger subspecies to become extinct in modern times. Before a studbook was established it was thought that this captive population was too small and lacking in genetic diversity for any repopulation program to be successful, but since the start of the central register more and more South China tigers have been identified in zoos across China fueling hope of the possible reestablishment of the South China tiger in the wild.
