The distribution of the Indochinese tiger is centered in Thailand. Indochinese tigers are
also found in Myanmar, southern China, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and peninsular
Malaysia.Within this range, tigers live in remote forests in hilly to mountainous terrain,
much of which lies along the borders between countries. Access to these areas is often
restricted, and biologists have only recently been granted limited permits for field
surveys. As a result, relatively little is know about the status of these tigers in the wild.
An estimated 1,227–1,785 Indochinese tigers are left in the wild, and about 60 live in
zoos in Asia and the U.S.A.
