BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | New sub-species of tiger found: "A new genetic study of the tiger family has uncovered a previously unknown sub-species of the big cats, researchers report in the journal Plos Biology.
Evidence suggested previous attempts to classify tigers may have been flawed.
So the team sampled DNA from 130 tigers from eastern Russia, China, India and countries in south-east Asia.
The new sub-species, Panthera tigris jacksoni, is named after tiger campaigner Peter Jackson and comes from splitting one sub-species into two."
This bengal tiger is just soooo cute!!!
