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.

I don't know, it could be possible.

Yes, that's a very good assumption Like . its very possible that if the tiger fossils in Lanka discovered in future are even more ancient and old, then it may be the ancient tiger likely originated from wanhesian tiger radiation to India rather than Bengal tiger from south china tiger expansion. In that case, apart from human pressure and climate change, Toba eruption may be major cause for its extinction.
