ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - A - THE TIGER (Panthera tigris)

[GuateGojira]

Thank you very much for your replay GrizzlyClaws. That was about the same that I think in the first moment, after all, the large size of the Amur tigers can be simple explained by the "little" fact that the Caspian tigers that invaded the northeast of Asia were already large and have the unique characteristics of the Amur-Caspian tiger skulls, that no other tiger, nor even the largest Bengal tigers, have on them, like for example, the huge sagital crest.

I decided to put it here because Peter normally quotes Yankonsky, so I would want to know if this hunter actually said that. Other thing that I am not agree is the old myth that Korean tigers were another tiger race. In fact, a DNA study made by Koreans proved that they were the same than those from the Amur region. All those tigers where the same subspecies-race-variety. What the old hunters observed were only geographical variations, nothing more. By the way, there is no such thing as "white tigers" in Russia, those are only misinterpretations or simple hunter's imaginations.
