@peter : I'm pretty sure there are no striped lions, it's just adult male javan tiger with long ruff. Remember the article on AVA few years ago (your tiger extinction thread) , which said the captive male javan tigers has the longest facial ruff compared to other tigers. in fact it was posted by yourself if I remember correctly.

@Pckts : that pug mark definitely belongs to big cat. the question is which big cat it is? because java also has leopards.

unfortunately they, the expedition teams, didn't tell the width of the pug mark, but they said that the pug mark is way larger than other pug mark they often found near Ranu Tompe, the hidden lake of Semeru mountain. 

a few pictures of the Java tiger ( Panthera sondaica )

watch the stripe pattern  and facial marks closely, then you'll realise actualy it is easy to distinguish between javan tiger and other tiger. 
the stripes are numerous with very thin line and the facial marks seems like combination between striped and spotted cat, a sign of an early evolution?
I guess so, imo.

Above all they have the longest body proportions compared to other tigers. again, this is just my opinion based from those pictures.
as peter said, they are different breed of tigers. i would like to call them the ancient tiger.
