Humans have impacted the population of the Caspian Tiger greatly. Hunters hunted their prey and reduced tiger population massively. The Caspian and Siberian/Amur tigers were frequently isolated by hunters. The Caspian Tiger's thick, lush, reddish coat with black or brown stripes and silky white beard was prized for its beauty and fetched a hefty price. Farmers deprived of the Caspian Tiger's habitat due to planting of cotton and rivers were being used for irrigation.
The Caspian Tiger was formerly found in Chinese and Russian Turkestan, Afghanistan, Iran, and Turkey, and Iraq. It inhabited the inland drainage basins of Western and Eastern Asia. Its cousin, the Siberian/Amur Tiger, preferred the rich mix forest in Southern Russia.
The Caspian Tiger (Panthera tigris virgata) is a Russian cat that has faced extinction for decades. The reason behind it all is unknown, though there are many theories.

The Caspian Tiger can be reestablished by using their relative, the Siberian/Amur Tiger. The Caspian Tiger was found to differ by only one nucleotide of its mitochondrial DNA from the Siberian/Amur Tiger. They have, practically, the same DNA.
