the case of Ipra and Chipi tigers from Angrim in Dibang Valley District Arunachal Pradesh has been intriguing me

so i decided to do a quick search of those allegedly "new bengal" tigers. i found that tigers pictures from this area mostly comes from Dr. Sahil Nijhawan, the same person who recorded six coat colours of the Asiatic golden cat in Dibang Valley

even though genetic analysis reveals they are still calsified as bengal tigers, somehow i think they looks slightly different from other bengals, including from terai tigers. To me some of them looks like bengals with some indochinese feature on it. what do you think guys?

Ofcourse they have indochinesey features. They have the most indochinese genes in all of NE India 's tigers... that are still left. Tigers southeast of Brahmaputra valley could have been almost fully indochinese, but they've become regionally extinct.
