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 guess we only have 7 specimens that can be attributed to this giant pleistocene tiger. 
What's impressive is how small the sample is. I mean the sample size is very small but we already have specimen estimates that can be 400+ kg. Just the frequency of this makes me wonder how big the largest specimen ever could be.

They have already reached the highest ceiling for the Felidae family based on few small samples.

So those small samples can be quite representative for the rest of the population.
