Panthera tigris sudanensis : ウィキペディア英語版 | Panthera tigris sudanensis The ''Panthera tigris sudanensis'' is a claimed subspecies of tiger, not scientifically recognised, allegedly living in Africa. It was described in 1951 by Paul E. P. Deraniyagala, based on a fur he saw on a Cairo bazaar. When he asked the seller for information, Deraniyagala was told the animal was shot in the Sudan. As Mazák wrote in 1980,〔Mazák, V. Velké kočky a gepardi, SZN, Praha 1980, p.142〕 it was either a joke or the seller felt obliged to be polite and answer any question, whether with truth or an invention. Deraniyagala took a picture of the specimen's fur, which, when published, made the scientists say, according to the pattern of stripes, it was most likely a fur of the Caspian tiger (''Panthera tigris virgata'') and the fur must have been smuggled from Iran or Turkey. At that time, the Caspian tiger was nearly extinct. If a photo were enough for a scientific description, ''Panthera tigris sudanensis'' would now be one of the Caspian tiger synonyms; as Mazák wrote, "the situation is half-humorous, half-ironic."〔 == References==
