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.

They were not exactly the same thing, given tigers were spread over thousands of kilometres from Russian fareast to Caspian sea. But subspecies are decided by differences at genetic level... which there may not have been enough.

There is more variation in stripes or face among Bengal tigers population groups. Sundarban tigers were found to be closest related to Central Indian tigers, not Terai or NE Tigers who they look more similar to. So looks clearly don't reveal that much. 
Caspian, Siberian, Korean were very likely Amur tiger subgroups.

What about the shape of the skull?
Even if they are of the same subspecies they have particularities and you cannot say that they are the same. The Siberian tiger is not the same as the Caspian tiger. Each has its physical configuration. And these differences are what could make a difference in the matter of adaptation.
