#Caspian tiger

[rinusuarez]

Introducing an updated illustrated poster featuring all the tigers of the world! While it was once believed that there were nine subspecies of tigers, recent scientific research has shown that there are actually only two: those that live on the continent and those that reside on islands. However, within these two subspecies, there are various populations of tigers that were previously classified as distinct subspecies. Creating this poster was a labor of love that required a significant amount of time and effort. Some of the animals featured on the poster were particularly challenging to illustrate due to their extinction, which meant there was limited photographic evidence available to use as a reference. I am thrilled with the final product and hope that others will appreciate the attention to detail and care that went into each illustration.

Animal of the Day!

Caspian Tiger (Panthera tigris virgata)

(Photo from Berlin Zoological Garden)

Extinction Date- 2003

Habitat- Middle East; Central Asia

Size (Weight/Length)- 230 kg; 3 m

Diet- Large mammals

Cool Facts- Caspian tigers were the second largest subspecies of tiger. They were made for rocky or forested steps by the Caspian Sea. These tigers were thought to follow migratory herds of deer or pigs. The downfall of the Caspian tiger began when Russia colonized Turkey. Tigers were shot out of fear, diseases swept through the population, and their natural habitat was converted into cotton plantations. The last wild Caspian tiger was captured and killed in 1997. Conservation efforts were attempted, but outside of legal protections little was done to restore their habitat or promote breeding attempts. Today, 6 tiger subspecies remain and all are endangered. Luckily, zoos are working to create captive breeding programs and national parks protect these magnificent creatures.

Rating- 12/10 (Most closely related to the Amur tiger.)

A conservator at London’s Natural History Museum works on an antique taxidermy mount of a now-extinct Caspian tiger. Originally mounted in 1927, the specimen required some touching up, including replacing missing whiskers with prosthetics. These fake whiskers were created with nylon thread inserted into catheter tubing. [ x ]

A photograph of a captive Caspian tiger (also called a Turanian tiger) from a German publication.

Google Translate for the German text reads: "Zoological document of rare value: probably the last photograph of a Turanian tiger. It was a young female who ended up in a zoo about 30 years ago. On closer inspection, the deviations from the appearance of other tiger forms becomes clear. A famous zoologist initially thought that the stocky pug head of this species was an individual malformation." [x]

This one was a total challenge. This tiger got extinct in the 70s, and there are not so many photographs of it, making it hard to draw. Actually, the one I based the pose on was a not-so-common and pixelated photograph of a dissected tiger in a museum that I found on the internet. I had to use various different pictures of tigers for the head, legs, tail, etc., keeping an eye on the characteristic features of the actual Caspian Tiger. Caspian Tiger This tiger was found in the middle east. From Ukraine to Western China. Its extinction began with the colonization of Russia by Turkestan in the late 19th century. Tigers were hunted by sportsmen and military personnel, their habitat was replaced by extensive croplands, and their nature was already vulnerable because of the abrupt of their environment. Until the 20th century, the Russian army cleared predators around settlements or potential agricultural lands. Also, deer and wild pigs (Tiger's prey) in the area was decimated by the increasing human population in the area. There are allegedly some sights of the animal but nothing has been confirmed. I think this is a clear example that every action that we make has an impact on nature. I hope one day we finally learn to live in harmony with what surrounds us. We lost a loved one but imagine how many unknown animals we have lost. Store Instagram ____________________________________________

“Caspian tigers were once found across Central Asia. This subspecies was driven to extinction in the 1970s as humans replaced its habitat with farms and cities. For the world's remaining wild tigers to survive, we need to find new ways of living peacefully alongside big cats.”

Tiger based Tigerstar? Red toned Tigerstar? Beefy thick clawed Tigerstar? Yes yes yes.

-Based ofc on tigers with his stripes all made to look like their stripes, especially the ones on his face and side. Kept his foot striped since they’re a signature note in all the Tiger descendants

-orangey red eyes, the scar on his chest made to look like a lightning bolt (Refrence to his heart tied to Thunderclan)

-Always has his claws out since they’re too long to be fully drawn and he has the marks behind his ears like tigers do

-Hc CANON Tigerstar as cishet using he/him but I do have a thing for gay Tiger and him repressing it, getting with Goldenflower to smush down what he feels. She is also a lesbian and doing the same thing. I dunno I think about it a lot esp as a story of how societies ideals ruin lives and drive people to violence

-Fav ship is probably none, I do think his dynamic with Darkstripe is really funny tho but not as a actual romantic relationship yknow?

(ID- Tigerstar is a red and brown cat with thick shaggy fur, large legs, and a big mane of fur. He is facing the left with his head looking forward, tail swinging up, and legs out with all his claws out. His mouth is open showing off his canines, eyes a orangey red with thick bushy eyebrows and three scratches over his nose. Down his back, tail, mane, ears, and down his face to his nose is dull red patterns. A mid brown covering his sides and face with orange down his chest, belly, and back of his legs, his feet are cream with the same color on his belly, mane, chin, cheek fur, back of his ears, and banded around his tail. Dark red stripes for across his whole body resembling the stripes on tigers. A jagged scar is on his chest and x on his back. The colors used are above him with the faint signature “nightly ruse” on his hip. End ID)

Also two alt ones I made before settling on deep red brown Tiger. The left one was too light and the other wasn’t as red as I wanted. So I last second remade him lol

(ID- His design is the same as the above one but with slightly different colors. The left one a light red with dark stripes and bright white markings. The right more brown with duller brown markings. End ID)
