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.

Because it is a Sundarban tiger and it is one of the best clear image of sundarban tiger from wild that I have seen recently. Truly speaking they are different tiger

Somehow, this Sundarbans tiger looks to me like a Balinese tiger in the old days: lean, short, smallish overall.

Sundarbans tigers prove that there is no need of genetic mutations or large time periods for a dramatic change in body size and skull shape. In less than 200 years, those 250 kg tigers originated from Central India transformed to a mere 100 kg individuals in those swamps. Climate, food availability and human interventions seems to cause more variations than Evolution itself, that is why we most take great care in proposing "subspecies" with so few evidence.
