Maybe yes but most of the accredited zoos and wildlife parks in breeding programs go for pure subspecies in big cats. But you are right bc the javan went extinct not really long ago may it still have the genes in the captive population in private zoos or in zoos which not in the breeding programs and I know there were bengal and javan hybrids in zoos in older times. I am not sure about the bali tho it's not impossible to have the genes.Maybe there are some captive Tigers which still have a few Genes from those, but of course those mean nothing because the pure Subspecies are most likely gone. Regarding Tigers in the Wild, I fully agree with you
What’s your thoughts on another tiger?

- Start date
It can at least be possible to clone it, right?
we need the maltese tiger in palnt zoo
Are you serious?
May I remind you that Bali Tigers lived in mangrove forests, dune & savannah areas. Their habitats are still there in Bali even though it's so small of an island.
Yes but were there any sightings of big cats or any mark of big cats (claw mark on tree, footprintt, prey reamins, disappered domesticated animals, poo)in the area since the 1970's?- also how famous tourist spots are this remained habitat fragments and also how is bad is poaching in Bali? In small island with habitat fragments poaching could have huge effect to the wildlife and were any reamins of poached tiger originated from Bali or was identified as Bali tiger? And how well studied the reamining fragments of bali? which habitat there can support a tiger? I won't say there is a absolutly 0 chance for bali tiger but I also can't say sure it's out there it has ahigh chance.
For cloning we should have the full genome of the bali tiger and comapre that to a sumatran tiger. Than gene edit a sumatran tiger to a bali tiger. Since it's a subspecies may it won't have as many difference and won't be as hard as bringing back a new species. But currently sumatran tiger population also not-doing well in wild, so the focus now should be on saving them.
Alright, no need to put so many rhetorical questions.
I don't do mods. It just sounds absurd.
Its even funnier when you find out all the tiger mods were made 2 years ago but there is still a sizeable audience who refuse to use mods so there will always be requests for animals like these.
Which is unfortunate
How does everyone feel about a Malayan Tiger? I’m a little biased towards them because a nearby zoo has them.
They aren't so bad. I still want all of the subspecies.
Also I have a question, can Siberian Tigers look like the first below image & can they get thin stripes (2nd image)?
I'm not a huge fan because they're the same subspecies as the other two in game and don't look a ton different. Or at least as different as the Sumatran tiger does, which is also the only member of the Sunda Island subspecies left.
Many people just want the species that they often see in zoos/or the wild, few people like me want some unusual rarities like Takahe or Aye-aye
For the Tigers, all subspecies are in captivity.
I think it is the other way around, only on this forum people want tigers, in the wide big world more people want secretary howlers and markhor
Actually, my opinion is one tiger is good enough: the Continental Tiger (which includes all the existing tiger subspecies except Sumatran), all the existing tigers are fauna of one continent only and the slots for species are very limited. I think those unique species like the Tree Kangaroo are prior to another copy & paste tiger subspecies.

Yeah I agree, but the planet zoo realistic gang want all subspecies of tiger in the game before secretary birds, markhor and musk oxes
I want more tigers a bit less than any of those other species but, TBH, none arr anywhere near the top of my most wanted list. Highest would be somewhere in the region of 20th-30th most wanted (for me), excluding flying birds.
Nonno I want tree kangaroos, toucans, rabbits , three banded armadillos, snowy owls, shoebill storks, aye ayes over your mentioned ones but above the tiger too. Everybody has their favourite species and subspecies with different reasons some bc they wanna see OFFICALLY, others bc of animation others bc personnal reasons or they just like the species or subspecies. And not bc they not interested about your mentioned species or if they so than they may have other interesting species on tops . Also before you started we root for another tiger we didn't we started to talk about if it possible that an extinct subspecies of tiger could still alive not about in game. And before that the last post was during summertime.
