Malayan tiger belongs to the family Felidae which contains 36 cat species. The genus Panthera includes the four �big cats� - tiger, lion, leopard and jaguar. Of the nine tiger sub-species only five highly endangered sub-species remain - Amur/Siberian (P.t. altaica), Bengal/Indian (P.t. tigris), Indochinese (P.t. corbetti), Sumatran (P.t. sumatrae), and Malayan (P.t. jacksoni). In 2003/4 genetic testing showed DNA differences between northern and southern Indochinese tigers. Thus the Malayan tiger became a separate sub-species in 2004.
Historically tigers ranged throughout Asia from the Caspian region into Central Asia, most of South and Southeast Asia, and East Asia and Siberia. Today their dramatically reduced range is limited to 13 countries in scattered areas of the Indian sub-continent, Southeast Asia, Sumatra, China and the Russian Far East. The Malayan tiger is endemic to southern and central Malay Peninsula. This includes only peninsular Malaysia and its border area with the southern tip of Thailand.
