The Bornean tiger or Borneo tiger is possibly an extinct tiger population that lived on the island of Borneo in prehistoric times.[1][2][3]
Two partial bone fragments suggest that the tiger was certainly present in Borneo during the Late Pleistocene.[4] A live Bornean tiger has not been conclusively recorded.[3][5][6]
