They became extinct in 1937. They lived on [[Bali]]. This was the first subspecies of tiger to become extinct. The Bali was also the smallest tiger subspecies. There is no record of a Balinese tiger ever being held in a [[zoo]] collection. The Balinese tiger's close subspecies were the [[Javan tiger]] and the [[Caspian tiger]], which are now also extinct. The Balinese and Javan tigers were once the same, but during the [[Ice Age]], Bali became isolated from Java by the [[Bali Strait]]. This split the tigers into two groups which then developed separately. The killing of the very last wild Balinese tiger is usually thought to have been at [[Sumbar Kima]], [[West Bali]] on 27 September 1937. It was an adult female. So the government of Bali made a strict law on killing tigers, but by then it was too late, because the Bali tiger had already become extinct. == Other websites == {{commonscat-inline|Panthera tigris balica}}<br/> {{wikispecies-inline|Panthera tigris balica}} [[Category:Tigers]] [[Category:Extinct mammals]]
