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.

Interesting as it is, the skull is/was longer than the largest skull of the Amur tiger measured by Mazák, but it was narrower and less massive, suggesting that Island tigers are morphologically lighter than a similar size but more robust morph of the Mainland tigers.

Perhaps the Pleistocene Mainland tiger still remained as the largest tiger in the history, also a prime candidate for the largest feline ever existed.

According to tigerluver's study, the closest morphology to the giant mandible was the Indochinese tiger, so it makes sense that Indochinese/South Chinese were all supposed to directly derive from the progenitor strain of the Pleistocene Mainland tiger (AKA Wanhsien tiger).
