∙ 10y agoYes. In fact, there have been instances where one subspecies has a range that brushes against another, and tigers with characteristics of both subspecies have been noted. Most notably, Faze' mentions a ten foot two inch male tiger from Myomar that appeared to be an Indo Chinese tiger, yet had wider stripes, and was quite a bit larger than males of this subspecies, which average nine feet in length and around 400-420 pounds, somewhat less than the Bengal. Only a mountain range separates the two subspecies, and this cat was almost certainly a hybrid. In captivity, it is not unusual to see tiger hybrids, especially Siberian / Bengal ones.
