@tigerluver

I am thinking about this theory:

The paleo Amur tiger = Wanhsien tiger (paleo South China tiger)

The neo Amur tiger = Caspian tiger

Since the North America has been colonized by different waves of Homo sapiens colonizers from the Native Americans to the Europeans, then it is definitely possible for Manchuria to be colonized by different waves of tiger subspecies from the Chinese tiger to the Caspian tiger.

But do you think the modern Amur tiger is the pure Caspian tiger or the hybrid between the Caspian tiger and the Chinese tiger?


@GuateGojira

Guate, the fossil was found in Heilongjiang, the northern part of Manchuria. And the only plausible Panthera spelaea subspecies nearby should be the Beringian Cave lion.
