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.

Despite that the southern population of the Wanhsien tiger had been heavily mixed with the Sunda tiger, but some of the mixed offsprings could still display some morphology (phenotype) of the original Wanhsien tiger.
That's why some skulls of the South China tiger do match with the unaltered northern form of the Wanhsien tiger.
Some South China tiger could display even greater similarities with the Panthera youngi and Manchurian mandible, so this could be a genetic throwback as well.
