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.

Encouraged by Guate's post on tiger evolution (post 6 in this thread) and the articles I read, I decided to write a survey on tiger evolution and taxonomy. I added some ideas in the conclusions.
Although I took my time reading and writing, I do not doubt mistakes were made. Anyone interested in evolution is invited to correct the information below. Remarks on visibility also are appreciated. If the scans should be enlarged, let me know.
The survey itself consists of 5 pages. Two more were needed for references and the last 10 have illustrations of topics discussed in the survey. As you can see, I didn't use glue to get the illustrations on the right page (I was out of it when I finished the survey, and it was Sunday). The tape, however, was just fine. Visible and a bit sloppy, but it does the job.
