Panthera tigris tigris, sometimes referred to as the mainland Asian tiger, is the native tiger subspecies of mainland Asia comprising the following tiger populations:^[1]

Bengal tiger — occurs in the Indian Subcontinent from India, Nepal and Bhutan to Bangladesh.^[2]
Siberian tiger — inhabits Northeast Asia, from eastern Siberia to Northeast China,^[3] and possibly North Korea^[4]
South China tiger — occurs in southern China^[5]
Indochinese tiger — inhabits forests in Indochina,^[6] save for the Malayan Peninsula
Malayan tiger — inhabits Peninsular Malaysia^[1]

The Caspian tiger inhabited Western and Central Asia^[3]

A whole-genome sequencing analysis of 32 tiger specimens supported six monophyletic tiger clades and indicated that the most recent common ancestor lived about 110,000 years ago.^[7]
