The Indochinese tiger (''Panthera tigris corbetti'') is a tiger subspecies dispersed throughout the Indochina region of Southeastern Asia. In 2007, its population comprised less than 2,500 individuals with no subpopulations greater than 250 individuals, so the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species categorized the Indochinese tiger as ''Endangered''. There is restricted access to border areas where this subspecies lives, so there is very little accurate information regarding its population status.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://wwf.panda.org/what_we_do/endangered_species/tigers/about_tigers/indo_chinese_tiger/ )〕 The Indochinese tiger population was formerly estimated at 202-352 total individuals in the wild, and had almost approached the threshold for ''Critically Endangered''. However, as of 2015, the total population of Indochinese tigers has been estimated at 600-650 individuals in the wild. The tigers in peninsular Malaysia, formerly classified as Indochinese, have recently been reclassified as a separate subspecies, the Malayan tiger ''Panthera tigris jacksoni''. ==Characteristics== The Indochinese tiger is generally smaller than Bengal and Siberian tigers. Males range in size from and in weight from . Females range in size from and in weight from . Its head is smaller than of the Bengal tiger; the ground coloration is darker with more rather short and narrow single stripes.〔Mazák, V. (1968).
