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.

@BorneanTiger  in the work "Caspian tiger - analysis of current situation" by O. Tcaruk & U. Tcukin, p. 17 is written than in 1839 in the area of Altay mountain, village Setovka was killed a massive Caspian tiger weighting 290 kg. "The killed tiger was thoroughtly measured and weighted. The beast was quite bulky, weighted 290 kg, total lendth including tail - 280 cm, without tail 180 cm, shoulder height - 1 m., circle of front paw - 66 cm, abdomen - 115 cm. About that case was informed Academy of sciences in St. Petersburg, from there by order of Imperor Nicholas I were send 1 thousand rubbles to make a taxidermic trophy from this unseen in Altai monster. Then from the skin was made a tacidermic specimen. But famous scientist Alfred Brehm making a trip in 1876 through Western Siberia and Kazahstan saw in the museum not one but two specimens of tigers killed in Altai"

"В декабре 1925 года газета "Звезда Алтая" напечатала быль 1839 года, в которой рассказывалось об охоте на туранского тигра рядом с деревней Сетовка Бийского уезда (сейчас это село в Советском районе) 15 октября 1839 года. Убитого тигра тщательно измерили и взвесили. Зверь оказался весьма упитанным, он потянул на 290 килограммов, длина с хвостом его была 2 метра 80 сантиметров, а без хвоста - 1 метр 80 сантиметров, высота от лап до хребта была один метр, окружность передней лапы - 66 сантиметров, окружность живота - 1 метр 15 сантиметров. Об этом случае сообщили в Петербург, в Академию наук, оттуда по указанию Николая I выслали на создание чучела невиданного на Алтае зверя тысячу рублей. Затем из шкуры убитого у Сетовки тигра было сделано чучело. Однако известный ученый Альфред Брем, совершивший в 1876 году путешествие по Западной Сибири и Казахстану, видел в музее чучело не одного, а двух тигров, убитых на Алтае."
