Symbolizes: Luck
Graceful, powerful, and deeply revered, the Malayan Tiger is a living emblem of luck, strength, and balance in the wild. In Southeast Asia, some even carry a distinct marking on their foreheads that resembles the Chinese character for “King”; a reminder of their quiet majesty.
As a keystone species, their presence supports the health of entire ecosystems, including vital watersheds that sustain both wildlife and human life. Their role in nature is irreplaceable and so is their future.
Critically endangered and found only in the tropical forests of the Malay Peninsula and southern Thailand, fewer than 150 remain in the wild. And yet, hope persists. Conservation efforts, stronger protections, and global awareness are helping to carve a path forward.
Sleek and agile, Malayan Tigers are one of the smaller subspecies, with males averaging 285 lbs. and females around 200 lbs. More than just a coat pattern, their distinct stripes are part of their very skin and are as individual as a fingerprint. Known locally as Harimau or Rimau, they are also called the Southern Indochinese Tiger.
Their diet includes the Sambar deer, helping maintain the balance of the forest. And their tracks, called pug marks serve as silent signatures of resilience and survival.
