Hi guys. I took these pics at the Harvard Natural History Museum in 2008.

I can't seem to find any reference to this Latin name on Google. What's the story with the name, and the archaic caption?

Cheers!

It's an invalid synonym of P.t.altaica - The Amur (or Siberian) Tiger.

Cheers.

A shame that the museum has not updated their signage.
