In Chitwan, a tiger walking out in the open, these kind of habitat (otherwise too empty) looks so promising for wild buffaloes and swamp deer which Chitwan seriouly needs to reintroduce.

another, shaky one!!

I wonder why most male Nepal tigers almost look like male Amur tigers in terms of physical characteristics.

The Terai Arc & Sivalik region of NW-India & Nepal is the coldest habitat of Bengal Tigers, except for the snowy hills of the Northeast. Their winter coat looks like Amur's autumn coat.

And not just the males...
Here's a female from Indian Terai.

I know. She's from Corbett. That population has most "Amur"looking tigers of all Terai.
In winter the only difference that remains is Bengal tigers' darker coat.

He was talking about the coat... Although Amur winter coat is much furrier.

Only the coats are similar but they still have different physical characteristics such as like you said Amur tigers have broader heads and wider rostrums.
