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.

One more on Korean tigers. This article of G.S. Song ('State of the Korean Tiger and its specific Feature') was published in 1966. Watch the pages: page 6 is at the top, page 7 below and page 8 at the right.
If we combine his information on Korean tigers with that of Barclay, we can conclude tigers were exterminated in the southern part of Korea just after the turn of the last century. In northern and central parts of North-Korea, tigers apparently increased in numbers after World War Two. Today (Miquelle) there could be 10-20 tigers in northern and western parts of North-Korea.
