Tigers of North-Eastern India

[parvez]

Sorry peter I didn't notice your post. Now only I am seeing it. As per my observation the Himalayas obstruct the movements of tigers of different subspecies. So the tigers at foothills of Himalayas must be normal Bengal tigers. Even among northeast tigers due to movement from one habitat to other I do not see any differentiation in their genetics. They must be having same unique genes Imo. Perhaps Kashmir tigers must have had admixture of Siberian or Caspian genes. Do you have any records or pictures of Kashmir and Pakistan tigers. It will be interesting to know if they were stocky just like Assam tigers as they must have mixed with either Caspian or Siberian genes. But your data on Himalayan tigers too is very interesting. In my opinion Assam tigers for their length must be overweight compared to tigers of other regions for their length. Did you observe that feature? Or is it that Assam tigers are growing stocky only these days? It will be interesting to know all these points. Reply
