So it seems that Ndangong tigers still hold the record for the largest tiger subspecies ever!.

Quote: Alaskan tigers are probably lighter in colour compared to other tigers just like the Siberian tiger. *Perhaps they were Siberian tigers. These tigers were not giants like the Ndangong tigers. Question is, why did they perish soon after their arrival?

Question is, why did they perish soon after their arrival? No clue. May be it was due to intense competition in an unfavourable habitat for a solitary medium sized Predator. Whereas Ndangong were island gigantism IMO.

A lot of larger extinct animals have already gone extinct. Probably it is a similar reason to why the smilodon populator has become extinct.

And when you have a tiger who is smaller than American lion and other extinct cats, and also faces pack hunting cats, bears, open habitat where your kill is easily visible etc, it is full of trouble.
