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.

Didn't vist that museum yet, but that will change. Very nice skull.
Although Sumatra and Java are separated by the narrow Sunda Straights, Sumatran tigers are very different from Javan tigers, PC. Javan tigers often have the typical Shere Khan mandibula (concave), a vaulted profile and a narrow occiput, which is not true for many Sumatran tigers.
