Contradictory? "There have been no recorded sightings in the wild during the last 20 years,as it is becoming extinct and the last known wild South Chinese Tiger was shot and killed in 1994."

More contradiction: A total of 47 South China tigers exist in captivity in 18 zoos and The 68 captive South China tigers probably represent a population too small Hanfresco 04:51, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Organization

At this very moment I am collecting information about this very rare cat. I will be organizing the article into sections. If anyone has any credible information about this critically endangered cat please contribute to the article. Thanks, Malix 1:48 EST, December 9, 2005.

I think there is no need to link words like "photograph" and "evidence" to the wikipedia articles for what is a photograph. I thought clicking those words would link to the tiger photograph or the new evidence found for this tiger, but simply linking every word to the wikipedia article is kinda distracting and unecessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.165.126.104 (talk) 20:22, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Physical characteristics

What are the sources for the size and coat pattern of this subspecies?--Altaileopard 11:08, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About the persecution during Mao's years

I had some doubts about the persecution that the South Chinese tiger suffered during the Mao Zedong's area, during the years of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution:

• 1-Had the fanatical Red Guards participated in those massacres??
• 2-And Mao also viewed the tigers as a symbol of the Old China that he intended to eliminated??
