Well done on your observation. Tigers are NOT native to Africa and I personally believe that they should remain where God put them in the first place. It is now more generally accepted that the tiger originated in East Asia, with the South Chinese tiger being the original form and currently living in the area of origin. The South Chinese tiger has a more primitive skull shape than the other subspecies. This is particularly noticeable in the Chinese tiger's close-set forward-facing eyes and shortened cranium. It is now considered that tigers split into two groups about 2 million years ago. The first group travelled in a northerly direction to south-west Asia, and further on up to Russia. The second group proceeded in a south-easterly direction to Indonesia and India. Westward extension was halted by the Caspian Sea. Though people often think that the tiger made it as far as South Africa, this is incorrect.

There is no evidence that tigers ranged into Africa. They appeared to have entered the Indian subcontinent only after the end of the last ice age. As a result, they cannot even manage to reach Sri Lanka.

Nope.

Out of existing and extinct subspecies; none weren't are dogs in Africa.

Not in Africa, but further east in Asia / Europe than you might think:

"Tigers once ranged widely across Asia, from Turkey in the west to the eastern coast of Russia. Over the past 100 years, they have lost 93% of their historic range, and have been extirpated from southwest and central Asia, from the islands of Java and Bali, and from large areas of Southeast and Eastern Asia.

Not live in Africa

no

I've heard that thousands of years ago, lions used to live in the Middle East, Europe, and even in North America. They lived on continents that most people wouldn't expect. Most people think that lions only live in Africa-which is true today in modern times, but not in the past.

Is the same true of tigers? For example, today, tigers only live in India and other parts of Asia. But did Tigers ever live on different continents, such as Africa, thousands of years ago?
