Malayan tigers(panthera tigris jacksoni)
This tiger is the most recently recognized subspecies and the
national animal of Malaysia. Until a few years ago it was considered the
same subspecies as Indochinese tigers, but based on the genetic
analysis it was discovered that they are different. Panthera tigris jacksoni emerged as a subspecies in 2004.
Males measure about 102 inches and females about 94 inches in length. However, the size information from 16 tigresses living in the state of Terengganu was on average 32 inches and weighed 53-194 pounds, while males measured an average of 37 inches and had weights of 104 to 284 lbs.
Its scientific name comes from the tiger conservationist Peter Jackson, but in the Malay language, it is called Harimau or just Rimau.
