Tigers of the High Himalayas

[Ashutosh]

I know, it’s fascinating. Would be interesting to know if their bodies have made some evolutionary adjustments to counter the altitude and lack of oxygen plus the cold. I know that snow leopards when diverged from tigers got deep chest cavities with wide nostrils and a very good lung capacity. For tigers, who are much larger, they would need more calories than the ones in the plains, so hunt more? And everything they do would require them to expend more energy doing it and it becomes a cycle. Reply
