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.

I'm curious about this as well. I always wonder about the fact that they thought about using an Amur tiger to reintroduce in Caspian Tiger territory, could you do this with other sub species. We see how close size between Amur and Indian bengals are and morphologically how close they are as well, I wonder if introducing other sub species would ultimately change one sub species to another if they live under the same condintions.
Just a thought
