Siberian tiger The Siberian tiger is endangered. In the early 1900s, it lived throughout northeastern China, northeastern Mongolia and southeastern Russia. Today, the majority of the population is a tiny part of Russia's southern Far East: the Amur-Ussuri region of Primorsky . There are very few tigers in northeastern China and fewer still in North Korea.

Jaguar Humans hunt the jaguar for sport, for its spotted hide, and to protect their domestic stock. The jaguar is endangered because it is hunted for its fur.

Gray wolf The wolf has been hunted to near extinction by ranchers and land owners. This fear is sometimes due to myths about the nature of the wolf to attack man. Due to the wolf's competition with hunters for wild game animals, they have been known to kill farm stock when no other alternatives were available for food sources.

Cougar because of uncontrolled hunting and trapping, habitat loss and destruction, and decline in their main food supply - the white-tailed deer. Only the Florida race is in trouble. As a species, they are holding on well. The white tailed deer is still a very common animal, as well.
