The tiger's closest living relatives were previously thought to be the Panthera species lion, leopard and jaguar. Results of genetic analysis indicate that about 2.88million years ago, the tiger and the snow leopard lineages diverged from the other Panthera species, and that both may be more closely related to each other than to the lion, leopard and jaguar. [32] [33] The geographic origin of the Panthera is most likely northern Central Asia. The tiger–snow leopard lineage dispersed in Southeast Asia during the Miocene. [34] a b Ochoa, J.; Piper, P. J.

The tiger was the emblem of the Chola Dynasty and was depicted on coins, seals and banners. [210] The seals of several Chola copper coins show the tiger, the Pandyan emblem fish and the Chera emblem bow, indicating that the Cholas had achieved political supremacy over the latter two dynasties. Gold coins found in Kavilayadavalli in the Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh have motifs of the tiger, bow and some indistinct marks. [211] The tiger symbol of Chola Empire was later adopted by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and the tiger became a symbol of the unrecognised state of Tamil Eelam and Tamil independence movement.

The Greyhound breed comes in red, red brindle, and red and white amongst many other non-orange shades. These dogs are speedy and athletic. As adults, they’ll be between 27 and 30 inches tall, weighing from 60 to 70 lbs on average. Greyhounds can be great with other dogs and children when socialized well. Johnson, W.

In 2007, over 4,000 captive tigers lived in China, of which 3,000 were held by about 20 larger facilities, with the rest held by some 200 smaller facilities. [188] In 2011, 468 facilities in the USA kept 2,884 tigers. [189] Nineteen US states banned private ownership of tigers, fifteen require a license, and sixteen states have no regulation. [190] Genetic ancestry of 105 captive tigers from fourteen countries and regions showed that forty-nine animals belonged distinctly to five subspecies; fifty-two animals had mixed subspecies origins. [191] Many Siberian tigers in zoos today are actually the result of crosses with Bengal tigers. [192] Cultural depictions Gee, E. P. (1959). "Albinism and Partial Albinism in Tigers".

Male Shiba Inus stand between 14.5 to 16.5 inches, and weigh around 23 pounds. Meanwhile, females are smaller and lighter at 13.5 to 15.5 inches, with weight about 17 pounds. The tiger is a long-ranging species, and individuals disperse over distances of up to 650km (400mi) to reach tiger populations in other areas. [88] Radio-collared tigers in Chitwan National Park started dispersing from their natal areas earliest at the age of 19 months. Four females dispersed between 0 and 43.2km (0.0 and 26.8mi), and 10 males between 9.5 and 65.7km (5.9 and 40.8mi). None of them crossed open cultivated areas that were more than 10km (6.2mi) wide, but moved through forested habitat. [89] The tiger is among the most recognisable and popular of the world's charismatic megafauna. It featured prominently in the ancient mythology and folklore of cultures throughout its historic range and continues to be depicted in modern films and literature, appearing on many flags, coats of arms and as mascots for sporting teams. The tiger is the national animal of India, Bangladesh, Malaysia and South Korea. The Tiger Species Survival Plan has condemned the breeding of white tigers, alleging they are of mixed ancestry and of unknown lineage. The genes responsible for white colouration are represented by 0.001% of the population. The disproportionate growth in numbers of white tigers points to inbreeding among homozygous recessive individuals. This would lead to inbreeding depression and loss of genetic variability. [71]

There are three other colour variants – white, golden and nearly stripeless snow white – that are now virtually non-existent in the wild due to the reduction of wild tiger populations, but continue in captive populations. The white tiger has white fur and sepia-brown stripes. The golden tiger has a pale golden pelage with a blond tone and reddish-brown stripes. The snow white tiger is a morph with extremely faint stripes and a pale reddish-brown ringed tail. Both snow white and golden tigers are homozygous for CORIN gene mutations. [65]
