There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Has this person, atleast, seen several tigers in Assam & Siberia up-close multiple times? Are they his Phd research?
If not, then his words doesn't hold any more weight than yours, or our. Just hailing from Assam isn't qualification enough...

Quote:If you relocated assam and terai tigers to northeastern Asia and their size will be different after 2nd generations. Assam tiger would never grow that big and heavy size as in their habitat if you relocate them in a place where prey is totally depleted.

Interesting speculation. 

The Bengal tigers that dwells the snowy mountains of Bhutan/Arunachal, closely related to Assam plains tigers, don't seem to display any such downgraded physique though.
Their largest prey is black bear.. Regular pretty is Takin & Himalayan goat.
