Lions and Tigers in India

[GuateGojira]

I am very interested in this other point of view and we most accept the fact that this other part of the history (the classic one) have good points in they favor. In fact, it is more easy to explain the theory of the lion native of India than that of the Exotic alien (the hole pro-tiger thesis in India is based in the classic one, by the way), however, when we go trough both theories, we fund that the classic point of view is based in several assumptions that have not direct evidence. This is what make me doubt about its veracity, and to be sincere, Thapar is very convincing is his points.

Now, about this particular link: http://vanishingnature.blogspot.com.au/2...f-all.html   - Sorry, but this guy is more lost that a goat in the north pole. Obviously I am going to show step by step why this "Doctor by profession" guy is incorrect in several of his postulates. Not just that, I am going to answer to him in his forum with all the data that I am going to post here. So, you can follow his blog to see his reaction.

Now, about the PDF document, I think this is most interesting, so I will also take my time with it. Sadly, that one can't be answered. [img]images/smilies/dodgy.gif[/img]

The only "mistake" in the book of Thapar et al., that I have found (at the moment), is that they states that some lions came from Botswana, but in the modern Indian lion population there is no evidence of African haplotypes. However, this is can be easily explained with the simple fact that all modern Indian lions in Gir are (or could be) descendents of the Persian lions transported by the Mughals, while the lions from Botswana were fully killed by the royalty and leave no descendent in the country.

About the fossil "evidence", I have a pro-lion source that accepts the fact that those fossils of "lions" are not accurately studied and can be from lions or tigers or even leopards of large size. The name Divyabhanusinh sounds to you?

Well, I am going to read both sources, but give me time, I am busy with the activities in my Church (this is the Holly Week, after all).

Greetings to all. [img]images/smilies/smile.gif[/img]
