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.

Palawan was in extreme northern part of the Sunda shelf. In this case, it is completely plausible that some tigers lived in that area, although with the rise of the sea level, the island was unsuitable for such a large cat, and taking in count the behavior of humans, is probably that the few tigers were hunted by the earlier humans.

About the Japanese tigers, it is possible that this was in fact, the lasts of the original tiger population that evolved in China, and that invaded Japan trough a land bridge in the Russian Far East. It have some morphological similarities with Panthera palaeosinensis. I am going to post the map of the possible land bridge latter.
