Hello all and Merry Christmas/New Year.

There is something catching my eyes recently regarding this cat and wanted to share here and get your thoughts. I started to notice some historical depictions of Caspian tigers show some sort of white/grey mane, or at list fur on the back of neck. However, I don't remember any article/source mentioning this feature or didn't see it on photos of  fur examples in museums, and actual specimens from zoo. Below are examples from two persian sources dating 16th and 11th centuries. Also added drawing of the pair in Berlin Zoo in 1897 (from Die Garterlaube journal), which this pair have a photo in 1899. However, the said mane isn't visible in the actual photo.
