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 quickly read the article of Balkenhof, Fickel, Kramer-Schadt and Kitchener when it was printed. An interesting evaluation of a number of recent articles on tiger evolution and taxonomy. They are no doubt right. In spite of that, I think a number of issues should be discussed. One of these is definitions.
