Yes, I agree.

Oh ! pretty good theory. Sounds possible and I has something to support your theory.

Anyway until then (discovery of new evidences), we have to consider the conventional evolutionary and Phylogenetics that south china rtiger gave rise to all modern spps (9/2/3 spps whatever lol).

South China tiger and Indochinese tiger look like the morphologically unaltered version of the Wanhsien tiger, except the size.

Caspian and Bengal also descended from the Wanhsien tiger, but they were newly developed strains with very little resemblance to their predecessor.

Caspian could back migrate and procreate with the archaic Wanhsien population to give the birth of the Amur tiger. Reply
