The Malayan tiger, the national symbol of Malaysia, had been classified as an Indochinese tiger until 2004 when it was identified as a new species. The tiger is found only on the Malay Peninsula. It is listed as a critically endangered species by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), with less than 200 animals in the wild by 2020.

Various measures by multiple countries and organizations are underway to protect the big cat, for example, cameras have been set up to follow the remaining tigers. Meanwhile, the Prague Zoo has managed to breed Malayan tigers in captivity.
