Have they done genetic testing on all of the larger sized specimens of the Northern Bengal tigers? The ones that said to be the biggest of all bengals?


When I look at the tigers in this video, the first question that popped in my mind is whether or not those huge bengals might be have some caspian tiger DNA.

Actually it was pretty well established that Caspian tigers were merely a western metapopulation of the Siberian tigers, that reached the place through the silk-route & Altai mountains. 

The all India genome sequencing established that Bengal tiger are quite a bit different from Siberian tigers, look in the Tiger Extinction thread. They came into Indian subcontinent from the east, but never actually made it northwest of Indo-Gangetic basin due to the unsuitable arid natural vegetation...& lions maybe.
