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.

The winter coat on the right seems identical to that of the siberian tiger.  The tigers on the left on the other hand seem to have a coat that is very similar to that of the indian tiger.  Initially i thought there had been a mistake on the part of either the publisher or artist but upon closer inspection the prey animal could be a european bison rather than a gaur or buffalo based on the patch of hair on its back.  This would be consistent with a scene from the caucasus.

This seems to me like a depiction of a large male tiger clearly showing narrow stripes of a brownish color and the typical tail pattern.



Postcard fron the red book of animals of the USSR - Vadim Gorbatov:

Again, very narrow and closely set stripes.

Yes!! According to Rabino (1913, p. 448), Buhse (1855, p. 272) and others, caspian tigers especially ones from the mazandaran and Gilan regions in Iran had a very bengal tiger like appearence!!! And those are great images and arts!!!
