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.

Yes, he does look like caspian. I believe you are referring to the frizzy hair on his shoulders and mane of Metis. And caspians have those traits. Amur tigers under AZA and EAZA are pure amurs. Another feature that I noticed about this tiger is that he has a very long muzzle!

2 year old Metis.

@Hello :

About #747: I believed that the crossing between African and Asiatic lions were from now on forbidden because the offsprings were too weak and unable to do anything but vegetating. But the specimen you showed seems to be healthy. Is it really a crossing ?

Yes, he's a hybrid. Afro-asiatics in captivity do become very bulky and large, but the smallest lion (160 kg estimate) i've seen was also an Afro-asiatic and the animal was Akash's Father Ayush. Ayush is also a hybrid. The below hybrid is also large and bulky and i've seen him personally and estimate him to be 210-220 kg. He's from Mysore zoo (India).

@Hello :

Thank you for having answered. Thus yes, it seems some hybrids can be healthy.

But, as concerns the tendency of a general weakness of the offspring from such crossing, I have found the info which I spoke about, from the BBC: 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4101049.stm

In this first link, dated from 2004, it is mentionned that the hybrids suffered from tuberculosis, and had a low immunity rate.

The second older link (2002) relates a mysterious disease which had affected 80 crossbred lions, slowly killing them all, as of this info date only 22 hybrids still survived but in a such state of weakness they were isolated from the other lions. Because too the indian law prohibits to kill these animals:

https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna14921421

May be some serious progress have been realised, because these both links explain that the crossbreds were stopped (by sterelising african male lions living with the asiatic females). Logically no one hybrids could have survived till now.
