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.
I forgot about that specimen's locality. Who knows to be honest. Someone just needs to find that skull. I remember you stated it was sold off as a rhino, bummer.
Maybe the Ngandong tiger and Wahnsien tiger are a bit more distant. The Sangiran tiger was present in Sundaland around 1 million years ago. The Wahnsien specimens are most likely around 1 million- 700 kya of age. There is enough geographic distance to stop gene flow population and differentiate them, and the metapodials are likely evidence to this hypothesis. Maybe the skulls had similar differences, if that makes sense.
