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.

I think not. Baikal is one the few remaining of the giant genes of the old wild Amur tigers. This genes are very important as they are now absent from the wild populations.
Then the Amurs during their prime era must be ranked along with the largest Panthera cat ever existed.

Seems that the pictures do not lie, Assam tigers, especially kaziranga, do have the largest skulls to body ratio.
Yep, their face proportion reminds me of those giant Pleistocene lion-like cats.
It looks even longer than those captive Amurs with 17 inches skull.
