The Caspian Tiger (Panthera tigris virgata)

[Lycaon]

I just remembered this small detail regarding caspian tigers along with anatolian leopard. From a turkish wildlife forum.

In 2002 I was in Sirnak Uludere Gülyazı region. I traveled a lot with the village guards, Peleng is a legend for them. They said they were still in the mountains of Zakho in northern Iraq. It's not on our side. I've heard of it in the 1950s in the mountains of tanin. In fact, the population of pigs and bezoar goats in the region is suitable for the lives of pars and tiger, as well as such beautiful mountains and deep valleys, I think they provide the most suitable conditions for the maintenance of wildlife. Of course, before the end of terrorism and mines cleared, it is unlikely that the region will be examined.
