In the video she is the same enclosure with two male Siberians and seemingly in the heat. I wonder if she had any offsprings and if so what happened to them? Also i think the video presents nice chance to compare "streaks" between Caspian and Amur tigers even though genetically.they are considered the same (still bit of difference as Soraya had narrower and closely set stripes, and distinct tail rings as other Caspian tigers)

Caspian tigers and siberian tigers had a very large distribution! different populations have very similar or very different stripes patterns! i have found on the internet several siberian tigers with very caspian like stripes! this one has a very similar stripe pattern as one from iran from a photo by a iranian clan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SquBJUGZy4w

the others have very similar patern as one from a pelt from a iranian museum.

here are some photos for comparison:

i´m alternating caspian and siberian! to better compare them! Reply
