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.
If you subscribe to the model proposed in this new paper, then I still think it would be better to have the three subspecies instead of two. That is north Asian tiger, south Asian tiger and Sunda tiger (obviously covering all the currently recognized subspecies). The idea that the entire Asian mainland all belong to a single subspecies is very difficult to swallow for me, it's a HUGE area and most other carnivores are subspeciated at smaller areas.
