Caspian Tiger The Caspian tiger, also referred to as the Persian tiger, is a subspecies of the Siberian tiger native to the vast regions of Western and Central Asia. The extinction of the Caspian tiger can also be attributed to the large-scale extermination of this animal by the Russian administration to reclaim land in the beginning of the 20th century. Different accounts suggest a different date, ranging from 1940s to as recent as 1997, as the last sighting of the Caspian tiger, but most of these accounts confirm that the Caspian tiger got extinct in 1950s.
