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.

You are assuming that the digital version is the same than the physical version and that is not the case.
Check that all the pictures in the digital version of the book are black and blurry. However, when Peter posted his versions, scanned from the physical book, the images were very clear and clean. So, there is a better picture of the white tigress in the physical book. In that case, your assumption that there are no clear images of the white tigress is incorrect. If you don't believe in me, check the difference:
1. The picture in the digital version (online).
*This image is copyright of its original author
2. The picture scanned from the physical book (thanks to Peter).
*This image is copyright of its original author
Did you see how different they are? [img]images/smilies/sleepy.gif[/img] Search the physical book and you will see the beautiful picture of the wild white tigress with her "new arrival" (her cubs).
Again, Dr Sunquist never saw a white tiger in the wild, that was just an example, not an account or a report.
About the video, I am downloading the documentary "Tiger of India in IMAX". This show was about Jim Corbett and his accounts. I hope that maybe this video have the white tigress on it.
And yet either image is 100 times more clear than the image claimed by Corbett.
Which looks like it was taken out of night vision googles in black and white.
It's not comparable, the only image that is even viewable is the one of the tigers side profile.
Once again, I already admitted that white tigers most likely can survive till adulthood in the wild, still skeptical until i see actual proof, but theres enough accounts for me to consider it. But this image is certainly not proof of anything, and I would hope you would admit it.
I understand you think Corbett wouldn't deceive and I am not saying he would or wouldn't, but this image is definitely not conclusive in any sense of the word.
