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.

In that case i plan on writing a follow-up post on how the lion subspecies being grouped into two could be a comparable case...

After a name is decided you create the thread & how about you move the post there with in the blog-style you have in mind. One example from you will make future ones easier.

Here's something that I'd like to mention. As I pointed out in other pages, the Cat Specialist Group expressed uncertainty over its 2017 revision of subspecies of Felidae, such as lions (https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-north-e...ican-lions), leopards (https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-on-the-...light=puma), cheetahs (https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-cheetah...os?page=12) and cougars (https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-the-pum...light=puma), with the problem with lions apparently being that 'subspecies' overlap in Northeast Africa or parts of Africa close to the equator to form mixed or genetically confusing populations, see the question mark on Page 72 over Ethiopia: https://repository.si.edu/bitstream/hand...sAllowed=y

So the CSG wasn't 100% sure about its revision of subspecies of Felidae, and if genetic differences between Amur-Caspian, South Chinese, Bengal, North Indochinese and Malayan tigers within mainland Asia, and Sumatran, Javan and Balinese (and Bornean?) tigers in the Sunda Islands are so significant that they have to be treated separately, then I hope that the CSG reconsiders the way that they published the information on tigers (Pages 6668: https://repository.si.edu/bitstream/hand...sAllowed=y), besides other species, and not treat this as the 'final' revision.
