No... See the copyright of WWF-Bhutan. Found here:

They're living similar climate as Amur tigers, so you can expect them to develop physical similarities. Classic case of convergent evolution I say.

But note the height to length ratio... always very short & stout, strikingly unlike Amurs.
This is probably due to ease of negotiating steep slopes their habitats are made up of. Reply
