South China Tigers live regionally in South China near the Yangtze River. These tigers typically live in evergreen forests, rocky mountain ranges, tropical forests, and caves. An evergreen forest is a forest with no complete loss of leaves or autumn-like affect. There are different types of evergreen forests (Coniferous, Tropical). Coniferous forests are biomes found in temperate regions with cool winters and warm summers and an adequate annual rainfall. There are a lot of shady spots in evergreen forests, a good supply of water, and animals susceptible to falling prey to South China Tigers (i.e. Deer, Elk, Owls, Hares). These factors make evergreen forests a great natural biome for South China Tigers to live in.
