Tigers in the News
Here is a list of news articles about the tigers of the world, starting in May 2026.
Although the taxonomy of tigers changed in 2017 to only two subspecies of tigers (Mainland Tiger and Sumatran Tiger), many articles still use the previous classification and prior common names including: South China Tiger, Malayan Tiger, Sumatran Tiger, Amur Tiger / Siberian Tiger, Indochinese Tiger and Bengal Tiger.
The three extinct tigers are also featured in the news from time to time: Bali Tiger, Javan Tiger and Caspian Tiger.
