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.

In the article they talk about sightings in Sirnak in 2001!! However i´ve read reports of caspian tiger sightings in Sirnak and Hakkari after that! In 2002 and 2003 and in Hakkari in 2007 and 2010!

And appears that caspian tigers existed in southwestern Turkey until recently too!

Very informative and interesting article, Felipe. Much appreciated!

Thank you, there was another article about animals believed to be extinct for decades and later found alive that talked about caspian tigers in Turkey and sightings there in Hakkari and Sirnak in 2002, 2003 and 2010! much more recent than the ones mentioned in the article i posted, but i could not find it anymore! 

What really surprised me was the fact that tigers were found in Antalya, southwestern Turkey up to the 80´s!!
