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.

Then what did this island tiger really look like in colored picture? Well we may never know as they were declared extinct fiew decades ago.  
So i try my best to colourizing this famous black and white picture and here's the result.

of course it can't be 100% accurate but i think it’s still interesting to imagine how Andries Hoogerwerf really saw in the jungle that lucky day.

It's nearly 100% accurate... just some identifiable scrubs/grass (green) & dry leaves (dust brown) on the ground are left....
