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.
I have a question, about the work (see reply #1065) on the possibility to restore the Caspian tigers (P. t. virgata) in nature using Amur tigers subspecies.
Admitting that they are different tigers, genetically as morphologically:
What is the sense to reintroduction using another subspecies, in this case the Amur tigers? I mean, virgata is extinct anyway. Only environmental factors, can bring her back to life, in the course of time?
