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.

1. Ngandong Tiger 
2. Pachycrocuta brevirostris 
3. Hemimachairodus 
4. Homotherium ultimum (hope I spelled that right) 
5. Leopards 
5. Dholes 
6. Merriam's Dog 
7. Megantereon 

I'm confident these tigers dominated most of these predators, but what about the Pachycrocuta brevirostris ? Did the habitat had an effect on the size of their groups like it does with modern wolves?


Not only a close relative, most likely a biological descendant.

Now that makes it even sadder those tigers died out due to humans. But at least the Sumatran Tiger is still around, and is likely the closest living biological descendant to the Ngandong Tiger due to being closer to Java.
