Ancient tiger fossils suggest big cats once roamed Palawan

Fossil evidence discovered in Pilandok Cave in Quezon, Palawan, suggests that tigers once inhabited the region and were hunted or skinned by prehistoric humans over 20,000 years ago. The findings, published in the Cambridge Archaeological Journal, include nine tiger (Panthera tigris) fossil specimens. Researchers believe these remains provide important insights into the historical presence of tigers in the area and their interaction with early human populations. The study highlights the significance of Palawan’s biodiversity and its role in understanding ancient ecosystems.
