Is this the male who turned out to be a hybrid?
 
You can sort of tell, I dunno why though, maybe the dark stripes...?

Now you've said that i can see wot u mean, he does look 'bengal' dark but if someone were to have told me he was a pure Amur i'd probably hav believed them :rolleyes: i find it can be quite hard to tell a hybrid tiger sometimes, in some cases its obvious like a sumatran/amur cross, but bengal/amurs can be hard to spot if you're not an expert...
 
I'm not really an expert but he just looks... well, wrong lol. I'm sure there's Bengal in there somewhere.
 
Haha, i see wot you mean, i couldn't really tell from this pic (tis a great photo) but i just had a look now on google & found some pics of Sasha in full profile & he does blatently look like a hybrid. His head and front paws look like Amur, but his build and tail suggest bengal or maybe Indo-chinese. Still a stunning animal though i gotta admit :)
