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.

The Amur tiger didn't reach their true potential until they had fully monopolized the top of the food chain after the end of the Pleistocene era.

The fossil evidence showed that the late Pleistocene Amur tiger was only slightly larger than the modern one, because at that time they were coexisting with many other Pleistocene predators, so their size potential was hindered.

The mass extinction of the Pleistocene mega predators probably had benefited the Amur tiger and pushed them at the top of the food chain in the coming post-Pleistocene period.

Let's assume from the start of the Holocene period at 10,000 BC to the rise of the Human civilization in the East Asia (China) at 3,000 BC, a period of 7000 years was mostly vacant in the history book, and we didn't know anything about the Amur tiger population during that period.

And I would assume that period was probably the golden age for the Amur tiger.
