The Malayan tiger (Panthera tigris jacksoni, Malay: Harimau Belang), found in the southern and central parts of the Malay Peninsula is a subspecies of tiger found in Thailand and Malaysia. Recent counts showed there are 600–800 Malayan tigers in the wild, making it the most common tiger subspecies other than the Bengal and perhaps also the Indochinese Tiger. It is, nevertheless, still an endangered subspecies. Photo by AHMAD BAZLI.
