Abstract excerpt

In the fall of 2003, a 2-yr-old tiger named Ming, weighing around 300 pounds, was discovered living in an apartment in Harlem, New York. Ming's rescue by NYPD was witnessed, recalled, and venerated by scores of neighbors. The tiger's history and ancestry stimulated considerable media interest, investigative sleuthing, and forensic genomic analyses. The Harlem tiger's subspecies makeup, his relationship to his...
