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.

They both live in the North in cold habitats and according to Bergman's rule should be big both. Persian is the largest subspecie of all but Amur is not big at all. I guess the winter in Far East is much harsher than winter in Caucasus and prey density is smaller. Answering of this question could give answer why Amur tiger is not larger than Bengal tiger despite some theoretical reasons for that.

My money is on Genepool depression...

True, Amur leopard has suffered the harshest gene deppression from all leopard subspecies, but still we need an old data about their size a century ago in order to make conclusion.
