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.

The Wanhsien tiger (Panthera tigris acutidens) was the subspecies of tiger that originated from the Second wave of Sunda tigers to the mainland. Apparently, they suppressed the "old" form of the original China tiger (and could also probably extirpated the old Longdan "tiger" too). This new tiger form was larger and with better carnivore adaptations. With time, at about 150,000 years ago, these tigers returned to the Sunda shelf with a Third wave, this time, they suppressed (or mixed) the original form of Sunda tigers and produced the Ngandong tiger. However, at this time, the Wanhsien tigers were already large, so when they arrived to the Sunda, they reached incredible dimensions.

Correction to the time in bold, a new study shows the Ngandong tiger lived around 345 ka (143 ka-546 ka). I wonder if that changes the evolutinary timeline. Have the Wahnsien specimens or faunal levels been actually dated or simple guesstimations?
