Captive tigers can live for over 25 years though, so there is no reason why a few wild ones shouldn't live as long.http://www.indiastudychannel.com/resourc…http://www.elvidge.com/users/jimbo/tiger… If you mean how long can the species survive without becoming extinct in the wild, then it's very difficult to know. There are plenty of reserves with tigers in them, but there is little funding available to prevent poachers from killing them - and as the human population increases in the parts of Asia that have tigers, there are increasingly more tigers likely to be killed 'to protect people and livestock'.
