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.

Modern Phylogeny states that the old taxonomy classification is based in few specimens, sometimes from Zoos and probably from aberrant specimens that don't represent the true average population (Kitchener, 1999). This DNA study provides evidence to say that those "small" Korean tigers are only regional variations of the Amur-Caspian tiger population (Panthera tigris virgata), which had the largest habitat from all the tiger populations.
