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.

Phylogeographic analysis with extant tiger subspecies suggests that less than 10,000 years ago the Caspian/Amur tiger ancestor colonized Central Asia via the Gansu Corridor (Silk Road) from eastern China then subsequently traversed Siberia eastward to establish the Amur tiger in the Russian Far East (Driscoll et al., 2009). Fossil evidence support the genetic analysis.

 

 



Then i guess the Caspian tiger AKA the western Amur tiger must have colonized the Central-West Siberia as well.

And it is quite interesting that the modern Amur tiger got its ancestry traced back to the western part of Asia.

They must derive from a group of Wanhsien tiger isolated in the West-Central Asia during the last glacial period.
