ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - A - THE TIGER (Panthera tigris)

[peter]

I didn't take your post as 'rude', Guate. I agree my post can be explained in more than one way. So no offence taken and my apologies for being unclear.

As for the two versions of the book. Maybe Lofdahl and Shevlakov translated the original, 1987, edition. The second, 2012, edition of the monograph is " ... in nearly all but a few ways identical to the first ... " (Editors foreword to the English language edition, pp. 5).

There could be a difference regarding the study periods, though. The full title of the second (2012) edition is: 'Winter Ecology of the Amur Tiger based upon Observations in the West-Central Sichote-Alin Mountains, 1970-1973, 1996-2010', whereas the full title of the (2004) Lofdahl-Shevlakov translation is 'The Ecology of the Amur Tiger based on Long-Term Winter Observations 1970-1973 in the Western Sector of the Central Sichote-Alin Mountains' (from your post).

It seems the difference between both editions is in the addition 1996-2010. I will get back to that one when I've finished the book.
