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.

Not that this is scientific by any means, but Proske specifically mentions how his light eyed (sumatran and java) tigers are specifically more aggressive than any other cats he worked with. I wonder if lighter eyes has anything to do with being a island tigers.
The green eyes or blue eyes could be the recessive gene of the Pleistocene tigers, but the modern Mainland tiger can also have light eyes, although they are rare and mostly found among the Amur tiger and Indochinese tiger population.
