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.

What do you mean? You know something you want to share?

What can be established is that even if people believe that the Caspian tiger is extinct, they can't give an exact date for its extinction. Some might believe by 1960 (https://books.google.com/books?id=t2EZCS...&q&f=false), I gave a reference for 1970 (https://www.felineconservation.org/uploa...ersion.pdf), but Heptner and Sludskiy (https://archive.org/stream/mammalsofsov2...0/mode/2up) believed or accepted the possibility that it was still around in Iran, the Caucasus, Afghanistan, China and Central Asia when they published this book in 1972, Pages 131–150:

I remember reading somewhere that people earlier didn't know that the Caspian tiger's range extended as far east as Anatolia (the Asian part of Turkey), and had declared it extinct before evidence of the tiger there was revealed in the 1970s.
