Most of the Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) photos I post here are of an older female named Zeff at the Bronx zoo, but during my earlier visits I often saw another of the several individuals rotated through the public viewing enclosures. The tiger pictured above is named Sasha, a relatively young male that has usually been out for viewing during my visits. It can be somewhat difficult to tell individuals apart, but as I've said before each tiger has their own unique stripe pattern, and even the marks on the side of their faces can be useful in telling one animal from another.

Hello Brian,
Do know of any scientific research done about ligers and tigons? Are there any articles about them in scientific journals?
