Found in a national park in India (can’t remember the name)
– Simipal National Park –
I saw a video or article before.
Black tigers were only found around that national park.
There is no interaction with tigers living in other parts of India.
Nearby tigers breed with each other and inbreeding occurs.
As a result, the probability of the recessive gene (pseudo-melanism) being expressed increases.
It is said that there is a higher probability of a black tiger coming from a tiger living in that area.
(White tigers are a similar case; if you look at their genealogy, all white tigers we see are ultimately inbred species)
