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.

Well that's the difference between ignorant people and those without logical thinking from those who have some degree of knowledge or just common sense to not see a big predator as a toy. The first see a round head and think of things to pet, the later see powerful muscles and a deadly bite.
Yep, I just don't buy the meme that "Bengals are aggressive while Amurs are less aggressive".
They are both tigers, just equally as aggressive and predatory, and Amur tigers' fluffy appearance is generally not as intimidating looking as the Bengal tigers, but that's just a misperception from many people. Since the Bengal tigers overlapped more within the human territories, hence they have historically caused more casualties. And if the Amur tigers lived in the same territories, they would have done the same thing. When their natural prey base has been dwindled, they would intrinsically target on more substantial and easy preys like the humans.
