Jun, 2022
Panthera tigris tigris was last sighted in Iran in 1958 in Golestan Province, located in northeastern Iran. One of the last known individuals of this subspecies was shot in 1953 in an area now known as Golestan National Park. Caspian tigers were still believed to be in existence in eastern Turkey into the 1980s. It is generally thought that this subspecies of tiger is now extinct. Physically and genetically, it closely resembled the Siberian tiger.
