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.

Ranthambore-Sariska tigers got (somewhat) inbred only after the poaching spree of the 90s when their numbers fell drastically.
And Corbett-Nandhaur-Surai complex is out 2nd best connected one (1st is Nilgiri)! It never saw a numerical drop. Why would they be inbred?
Rajaji was less lucky, yes...

They say so... like they say, Caspians were basically same as Siberians.
But i don't subscribe to it. If they can be told apart by sight, they are NOT same!
