华南虎头圆，耳短，四肢粗大有力，尾较长，胸腹部杂有较多的乳白色，全身橙黄色并布满黑色横纹。毛皮上有既短又窄的条纹，条纹的间距较孟加拉虎、西伯利亚虎的大，体侧还常出现菱形纹，在亚种老虎中体型较小。华南虎以草食性动物野猪、鹿、狍等为食，是中国的十大濒危动物之一、国家一级保护动物，红色物种名录极度濒危。
活动
主要生活在中国南方的森林山地。华南虎虽不喜欢长途泅水，却能游过较狭窄的海峡，所以还出现在像厦门等地的岛屿上。多单独生活，不成群，多在夜间活动，嗅觉发达，行动敏捷，善于游泳，但不善于爬树。与其他的虎的亚种相似。
食性
华南虎主要是猎食有蹄类动物，最喜欢的体形约为30-400磅，以草食性动物野猪、鹿、狍等为食；雄性华南虎则会攻击较大型的猎物，如黑熊及马来熊等。一般来说，一只老虎的生存至少需要70平方公里的森林，还必须生存有200只梅花鹿、300只羚羊和150只野猪。野生华南虎吃新鲜肉，捕食对象包括野猪、野牛和鹿类，体重30-900公斤不等，野外已经了无踪迹。
华南虎亦称“中国虎”，是中国特有的虎种，生活在中国中南部。识别特点： 头圆，耳短，四肢粗大有力，尾较长，胸腹部杂有较多的乳白色,全身橙黄色并布满黑色横纹。是亚种老虎中体型最小的。雄虎身长约2.5米（加头），重约150公斤。雌虎身长约2.3米，体重约110公斤。尾长80-100厘米。毛皮上有既短又窄的条纹，条纹的间距较孟加拉虎、西伯利亚虎的大,体侧还常出现菱形纹。主要生活在森林山地。多单独生活，不成群，多在夜间活动，嗅觉发达，行动敏捷，善于游泳，但不能爬树。以草食性动物野猪、鹿、狍等为食。一般来说，一只老虎的生存至少需要70平方公里的森林，还必须生存有200只梅花鹿、300只羚羊和150只野猪。本回答被网友采纳
there are fewer than 20 of these tigers left in the world, and warn that it might become extinct within the next decade. One was recently born in a reserve in South Africa in November 2007, the first to be born outside China.
In October 2007, the forestry department of Zhenping county, Shaanxi published photographs of P. t. amoyensis in its native habitat, but these were later debunked after an investigation. The South China tiger is considered to be the “stem” tiger, the subspecies from which all other tigers descended. The South China tiger has been recently listed as one of the world's 10 most endangered animals.
The South China tiger is one of the smallest tiger subspecies. Male tigers measure about 2.6 m (8 ft) from head to tail and weigh about 150 kg (330 lb). Female tigers are smaller, measuring about 2.3 m (7 1/2 ft) long. They weigh approximately 110 kilograms (240 pounds). This tiger is an estimated 2-6 ft tall. The short, broad stripes of the South China tiger are spaced far apart compared to those of Bengal and Amur tigers.
The South China tiger, like all other subspecies of tigers, are pure carnivores. The South China tiger prefers prey ranging between 30-400 lbs and have been known to eat livestock like cows and goats in the past when their population was much higher. They are expert hunters and will stalk and follow their prey for hours. South China tigers have an average speed of around 35mph, faster than most of its prey species, but they do not have enough stamina to maintain their top speed for long. These big cats kill their prey with a bite to the back of its neck (usually for medium-sized prey) or use suffocation hold on the prey's throat (this is their preferred method of killing large-sized prey). South China tigers can feed on almost anything, from small insects to Gaurs. Many humans died from South China tiger attacks in the past and they have been known as man-eaters when their population was much higher.
