Extinction Date: The Caspian tiger was declared extinct in the 1970s, with the last reliable reports of sightings occurring in the late 1950s.
Details: This subspecies inhabited forested areas and riverine corridors in the region. The main causes of its extinction were extensive hunting, habitat degradation due to agricultural expansion, and loss of prey species.
3. Javan Tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica)
Region: The island of Java, Indonesia
Extinction Date: The Javan tiger was declared extinct in the 1970s, with the last confirmed sighting in 1972.
