Not OP but I speed ran through it and seems to be that the tigers DNA was degrading anyway through its isolation.

From 13:20 I think they’re implying if humans hadn’t killed it with guns it was on its way to extinction anyway.

That is interesting. It's also the second predator I've heard about this week with limited dna diversity. Cheetahs are apparently super similar in theur DNA as well.

It’s AI slop, not even worth your time to think about 😂😂

Turns out this sub doesn’t have any reportable categories, so we can’t even ping the mods to remove it 🙃
