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.

~ Korean Tiger Hunting, 1922, photographed by Ando Kimio. According to the statistics of the Governor-General of Korea, the number of Chosŏn tigers slaughtered during the period of Japanese occupation was around 141. This tiger is arguably the last male tiger to have been photographed, on October 2, 1922, in Gyŏngju, Mt. Daedŏk, in Kyŏngsangbukto province. The tiger skin was dedicated to the Imperial House of Japan. ~

A good news is that now even Wikipedia is taking the view about there being 6 subspecies more seriously (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger#Subspecies), in light of the genetic study in 2018 (https://www.cell.com/current-biology/ful...all%3Dtrue), so hopefully, people don't just listen to the Cat Specialist Group's assertion in 2017 about there being only 2 subspecies (https://repository.si.edu/bitstream/hand...sAllowed=y).

I find it more interesting, that when you look WWF site(s), vast majority and their main site have 6 subspecies even today there. I wonder if they wait for something or are they just lazy to update :) Could be both :) But then again not all biologists agree with cat specialist group in this matter so some instance can wait and see still how discussion and studies continue. One interesting thing would be to know has it had any influence for instance to Amur tiger conservation. Somehow I have this feeling, that not.
