didnt realise that it was 18 (6.12) wild caught South China tigers between 1955 and 1970 (of which 6 became the founders).
#1 Meng Zi 0.1 wild born Sichuan about 1955 and captured same year (she died Hefei in about 1970). But she wasnt a foudner of captive bred population.
The six (2.4) captive population founders were:
#3 Xiao Mao 1.0 (1956-1976) {captured 1959}
#6 Qingzhenu 1.0 (1958-1968) {captured 1958}
#7 Changshunh 0.1 (1958-1980) {captured 1958}
#8 Xiao Yi 0.1 (1962-1970) {captured 1962}
#12 Bijehu 0.1 (1959-1967) {captured 1959}
#26 Xiao Fu 0.1 (1967-at least 1983) {captured 1970}
*many of birth dates are estimates and some of death dates
