The Caspian tiger (Panthera tigris virgata), also known as the Hyrcanian or Persian tiger, was a powerful and majestic subspecies of tiger that once roamed the forests and river valleys of Central Asia, from Turkey to northwestern China. Known for its muscular build, thick golden-orange fur, and distinct dark stripes, the Caspian tiger was highly adapted to harsh environments. It was slightly smaller than the Siberian tiger but shared its dense coat and robust stature. Driven to extinction in the mid-20th century due to habitat loss and hunting, this miniature captures the grandeur of a lost predator—ideal for historical wildlife dioramas, natural history collections, or as a striking centerpiece in any display.
