As you can see. During the Late Pleistocene. Siberian Tigers lived in Alaska. Evidence from this are from fossils of Siberian Tigers that were found there and because of the bering strait as well. Also not only they livng there, but they were a bit bigger as well. So anyway. Do you guys think it's a good idea to reintroduce Siberian Tigers back into Alaska like they did during the Late Pleistocene. If so. Yes or why not. In my opinion. I think it's a good idea to reintroduce them because then they will be more safe from poachers and not be as endangered since there would be more in the world.

NO! I think animals should be left in their native habitats. Everytime we move an animal thinking it'll do good, something bad happens. What if this had a negative effect on other predators? Or what if the tigers couldn't survive there?

They have programs with south china tigers in africa, this should be fine.

They died off there long ago, no need to do something other than nature intended. Better safe than sorry.

Tigers have historically lived naturally in Alaska.

They're invasive because they were never native to Australia. Tigers have historically lived naturally in Alaska. Cane toads were deliberately moved to try and control insects that ate sugar cane, you asked for an example of when an animal was deliberately moved thinking it would do good.

Lets leave Alaska the way it is. Humans already cause enough trouble to ecosystems.

Or what if the tigers couldn't survive there? Mind sounding a little less angry? I don't see any reason why tigers cannot survive in Alaska. It's similar to their native Russian Far East habitat.

I feel it would be determental to the current predators, also the tigers of Alaska died out for a reason and history may very well be repeated. It is better imho that we leave such a small and delicate population be and simply attempt to promote growth.

If anything It should be in a large fenced in area with the sole purpose of keeping a large more or less wild population protected.

is there any reason to suggest tigers can't survive in Alaska?
