Name: Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior Place of Birth: Mogi das Cruzes, State of São Paulo, Brazil Date of Birth: February 5, 1992 Net Worth 2023: $250 million Something magical happened in 2013: Barcelona signed a promising footballer known as Neymar Santos Jr. Before then, very few had heard of this footballer. He got the attention of the soccer universe in a couple of matches and proved he wasn’t your average signing. Now, he is a soccer demi-god. Who can deny Neymar the respect and recognition he deserves? The guy has already scored 700+ goals and is still adding to his tally while playing for Al Hilal. He is also a Guinness World Record holder and one of the highest-paid soccer players in the world. Without a shadow of a doubt, Neymar has earned his place in football history. If you are a big fan of Neymar and want to learn more about this prolific goalscorer, you’re in the right place. This bio will introduce you to everything you need to know, including his early life, romantic partner, trophies, records, and net worth. Neymar Junior was born on February 5, 1992 to Neymar Santos Sr. and Nadine Goncalves. Like his son, Neymar Santos Sr was an avid footballer. But Santos Sr. never scaled the heights like his beloved son. On the contrary, he got stuck in the lower dregs of the Brazilian football league. By the time Neymar Santos Jr. decided to grace the universe with his presence, Santos Sr. was playing in Sao Paulo, in an industrial suburb known as Mogi das Cruzes. On the other hand, in the earlier years, Neymar’s mom, Nadine Goncalves, worked in retail. She married Santos Sr. in 1991 and, a year later, got pregnant with Santos Jr., the legendary footballer we know today. Looking at Neymar’s lavish life, it’s hard to imagine the footballer languishing in abject poverty, right? But Neymar had a sad, poverty-ridden upbringing. His family was so poor that they had no electricity and mainly lived by candlelight. At some point, their condition forced them to relocate to Neymar’s grandparent’s house, where they lived in a little cottage and shared a single mattress. Since Neymar’s parents were dirt poor, the footballer attended arguably the worst public school in Brazil then. The same deplorable condition left Neymar with nothing to do but play football almost all the time. Neymar played everything back then, from street football to indoor five-a-side football. He was guided by his dad, who was familiar with the game. Santos Sr. would later become an important mentor and manage the football star. In his early years in Sao Vicente, Neymar was a Portuguesa Santista’s youth team member. But in 2003, his family relocated to Santos, where Neymar got the golden opportunity to play soccer for the Santos FC youth academy. He was such a talented player that at only 14, he had a successful trial with a team he’d later compete against numerous times: Real Madrid. Owing to the successful trial, Santos FC resorted to retaining the promising footballer by spending more. Neymar’s big break came in 2013 when he finally moved from Santos and joined FC Barcelona, where he stayed until 2017 and scored an astounding 105 goals in 186 matches. Neymar Santos Jr. has a younger sister known as Rafaella Santos. And like many other football stars, Neymar has been associated with countless girlfriends and hookups. Presently, he’s dating Bruna Biancardi, a famous model and dating influencer, who’s currently heavily pregnant with their child. Besides the baby Neymar is expecting with Biancardi, the footballer has a son called David Lucca from his relationship with Carolina Dantas, a Brazilian social media personality. Neymar Jr Achievements and Trophies So far, Neymar has bagged 21 titles and countless other trophies, including the ones listed below. https://mysoccerhouse.com/neymar-jr-net-worth-lifestyle-career-and-family/

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United (often stylised as Man Utd), or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system. Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910. Domestically, Manchester United have won a record 20 top-flight league titles, 12 FA Cups, six League Cups and a record 21 FA Community Shields. In international football, they have won the European Cup/UEFA Champions League three times, and the UEFA Europa League, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the Intercontinental Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup once each.[6][7] In 1968, under the management of Matt Busby, 10 years after eight of the club's players were killed in the Munich air disaster, they became the first English club to win the European Cup. Sir Alex Ferguson is the club's longest-serving and most successful manager, winning 38 trophies, including 13 league titles, five FA Cups, and two Champions League titles between 1986 and 2013.[8][9] In the 1998–99 season, under Ferguson, the club became the first in the history of English football to achieve the continental treble of the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League.[10] In winning the UEFA Europa League under José Mourinho in 2016–17, they became one of five clubs to have won the original three main UEFA club competitions (the Champions League, Europa League and Cup Winners' Cup). Manchester United is one of the most widely supported football clubs in the world[11][12] and has rivalries with Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal and Leeds United. Manchester United was the highest-earning football club in the world for 2016–17, with an annual revenue of €676.3 million,[13] and the world's third-most-valuable football club in 2019, valued at £3.15 billion ($3.81 billion).[14] After being floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1991, the club was taken private in 2005 after a purchase by American businessman Malcolm Glazer valued at almost £800 million, of which over £500 million of borrowed money became the club's debt.[15] From 2012, some shares of the club were listed on the New York Stock Exchange, although the Glazer family retains overall ownership and control of the club. History See also: List of Manchester United F.C. seasons A chart showing the progress of Manchester United through the English football league system, from joining as Newton Heath in 1892–93 to the present Early years (1878–1945) Main article: History of Manchester United F.C. (1878–1945) Manchester United was formed in 1878 as Newton Heath LYR Football Club by the Carriage and Wagon department of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (LYR) depot at Newton Heath.[16] The team initially played games against other departments and railway companies, but on 20 November 1880, they competed in their first recorded match; wearing the colours of the railway company – green and gold – they were defeated 6–0 by Bolton Wanderers' reserve team.[17] By 1888, the club had become a founding member of The Combination, a regional football league. Following the league's dissolution after only one season, Newton Heath joined the newly formed 'Football Alliance', which ran for three seasons before being merged with The Football League. This resulted in the club starting the 1892–93 season in the First Division, by which time it had become independent of the railway company and dropped the "LYR" from its name.[16] After two seasons, the club was relegated to the Second Division.[16] In January 1902, with debts of £2,670 – equivalent to £310,000 in 2024[nb 1] – the club was served with a winding-up order.[18] Captain Harry Stafford found four local businessmen, including John Henry Davies (who became club president), each willing to invest £500 in return for a direct interest in running the club and who subsequently changed the name;[19] on 24 April 1902, Manchester United was officially born.[20][nb 2] Under Ernest Mangnall, who assumed managerial duties in 1903, the team finished as Second Division runners-up in 1906 and secured promotion to the First Division, which they won in 1908 – the club's first league title. The following season began with victory in the first ever Charity Shield[21] and ended with the club's first FA Cup title. Manchester United won the First Division for the second time in 1911, but at the end of the following season, Mangnall left the club to join Manchester City.[22] In 1922, three years after the resumption of football following the First World War, the club was relegated to the Second Division, where it remained until regaining promotion in 1925. Relegated again in 1931, Manchester United became a yo-yo club, achieving its all-time lowest position of 20th place in the Second Division in 1934. Following the death of principal benefactor John Henry Davies in October 1927, the club's finances deteriorated to the extent that Manchester United would likely have gone bankrupt had it not been for James W. Gibson, who, in December 1931, invested £2,000 and assumed control of the club.[23] In the 1938–39 season, the last year of football before the Second World War, the club finished 14th in the First Division.[23] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_United_F.C.

Summary of the day … It is 5pm in Gaza, Beirut and Tel Aviv. Here are the headlines … A 16-year-old boy has been shot and killed by Israeli security forces during an overnight raid in the al-Amari camp in the Israeli-occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, according to reports. Palestinian news agency Wafa also reports that 55 Palestinians were detained overnight by Israeli security forces. The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society states that about 7,400 Palestinians have now been detained by Israel since 7 October. US vice-president Kamala Harris called yesterday for an immediate six-week ceasefire. She said “people in Gaza are starving” and that the Israeli government must do more to increase the flow of aid. “The conditions are inhumane,” she added. “Our common humanity compels us to act”. Israel’s interior security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir responded on Monday morning by posting “It’s time to destroy Hamas, Kamala” to social media. Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz is in Washington to meet Harris. An official from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party said Gantz did not have approval from the prime minister for his meetings, underscoring the widening crack within Israel’s wartime leadership nearly six months into the war. Hamas has said it is pressing on with talks in Cairo aimed at securing a ceasefire in Gaza despite Israel’s decision not to attend. However, in Beirut a Hamas spokesperson called on Palestinians to “make every moment of Ramadan a confrontation.” The deaths of more than 100 people when Israeli forces opened fire near an aid convoy in Gaza was a tragedy that should have been foreseen and could have been prevented, the World Food Programme director for Gaza has said. Matthew Hollingworth also said an aid corridor into northern Gaza was needed urgently to prevent a “man-made” famine there after Palestinians were starved of food at terrifying speed and scale. In its latest operational briefing, Israel’s military claims to have apprehended suspected members of Hamas and Islamic Jihad who were attempting to flee “under the protection of the civilian po[CENSORED]tion”, and to have destroyed a cell who were firing rockets from Gaza into Israel. It claimed that over the past day, IDF troops killed 15 terrorists using sniper, tank, and aerial fire. The claims have not been independently verified. At least 30,534 Palestinians have been killed and 71,920 injured by Israel’s military offensive on Gaza since 7 October, according to the latest figures from the Hamas-led health ministry in the Palestinian territory. Over the same time period, in its latest briefing, the UN office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs (OCHA) noted that at least 409 Palestinians have been reported killed, including 103 children, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. It has not been possible for journalists to independently verify the casualty figures being issued during the conflict. Mohammad Shtayyeh, caretaker prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, has accused Israel of “systematic criminality” and said countries that support Israel should “feel ashamed”. Family members of those still being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza have staged a silent march today in the Knesset in Jerusalem, demanding their release after 150 days in captivity. Lebanese media reported Israeli airstrikes in the south of the country, near the UN-drawn blue line that separates Lebanon from Israel. Earlier Israeli media reported that one person had been killed and at least seven wounded by fire from inside Lebanon that crossed into Israel at Margaliot. US envoy Amos Hochstein has been in Beirut, where he said that a limited war across Lebanon’s southern border would not be containable. In Geneva, Volker Türk, the UN high commissioner for human rights, described military escalation in southern Lebanon as “extremely worrying”. We are closing this live blog now. You can find all of our latest news on the Israel-Gaza war here, including this recent report from my colleague Harriet Sherwood. Twin babies among 14 killed in Israeli airstrike on house in Rafah Tareq Abu Azzoum, reporting for Al Jazeera from Rafah, says “there has a clear increase in the Israeli military attacks in the past 24 hours.” He told the news network that 17 Palestinians have been killed by an Israeli strike on Rafah that destroyed two residential houses, and that loud explosions can be heard coming from the city of Khan Younis. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/mar/04/middle-east-crisis-live-israel-gaza-kamala-harris-ceasefire-latest-news

What are Cristiano Ronaldo's diet, workout and fitness secrets? Cristiano RonaldoSaudi Pro LeaguePortugalAl Nassr FCManchester United The Al Nassr star is renowned for being one of the most athletic players in football history, but how did he attain his top condition? There is no player in world football that has drawn more plaudits for his physical qualities and dedication to his craft than Cristiano Ronaldo. The Al Nassr and Portugal star boasts an extraordinary set of athletic skills, combining rapid pace and agility with elite aerial ability and power. Take advantage of the best betting sign up offers from UK betting sites Ronaldo was not born with those traits, though; the rippling physique we see today is a marked transformation from the skinny teenager that arrived at Manchester United from Sporting back in 2003. So how was the incredible athlete and five-time Ballon d'Or winner created? With the help of 15 fitness tips Ronaldo revealed himself, GOAL takes a look at the secrets behind his strength and speed. How does Cristiano Ronaldo train? First thing's first: start with a warm-up to decrease the risk of injury. "In training we do a few laps of the pitch, stretching and cardio warm-up exercises," Ronaldo explains. "Make sure you do something similar in your training, even if it is jogging to the gym or a warm up on the treadmill or bicycle." When in the gym, Ronaldo's main workout is split between cardiovascular training - such as running and rowing - and weights. "Mix it up," Ronaldo advises - as well as keeping things interesting, it's important to ensure all areas of the body are targeted and exercises improve both strength and stamina. On the pitch, the focus is on high-intensity drills that reflect match situations. "We do a lot of sprinting drills in training and they can be incorporated into your workout whether you are in the gym or outdoors," Ronaldo says. "Try and add it to every workout you do." Workouts are not restricted to the time Ronaldo spent at training facilities, though. "Fit in exercise wherever you can," he adds. "You can do an abs workout in your bedroom when you wake up in the morning or before you go to bed. If you get into a routine then it makes it easier as it will become a habit." What food does Cristiano Ronaldo eat? There's no point having the nicest car if you're not going to put the right fuel in it. Ronaldo, unsurprisingly, takes his diet very seriously. "A good workout must be combined with a good diet," he states. "I eat a high protein diet, with lots of wholegrain carbs, fruit and vegetables, and avoid sugary foods." The Portugal international has a personal dietician who has worked with him ever since his Real Madrid days, eating six small meals a day – or one every three to four hours. He particularly likes fish – particularly swordfish, sea bass and sea bream – and his favourite dish is bacalhau a braz, which is a mixture of cod, onions, thinly sliced potatoes and scrambled eggs. He also eats plenty of fruits and lean proteins. At restaurants, Ronaldo says he often orders steak and a salad, and never anything frozen - everything he eats is fresh. For his breakfast, Ronaldo is partial to the likes of cheese, ham, low-fat yoghurt alongside plenty of fruit as well as avocado toast. "Eat regularly," Ronaldo continues. "If you train regularly it’s important to keep energy levels high to fuel your body for better performance. I sometimes eat up to six smaller meals a day to make sure I have enough energy to perform each session at top level." Hydration is vital, too - "drinking water is so important," Ronaldo affirms - but one of the sacrifices he makes to keep his body in top condition is avoiding alcohol and carbonated drinks. In 2021, he hit headlines for a disdainful assessment of soft drink Coca-Cola at Euro 2020, urging people to "drink water" instead. What cheat meals does Cristiano Ronaldo eat? Even the most muscular athletes have 'cheat' days, with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson among those po[CENSORED]rising his on Instagram, and Ronaldo is no different. However, while The Rock may regularly indulge in a stack of sugary pancakes at the end of the week, Ronaldo's 'cheat' meals are a little tamer. Pizza is about the height of Ronaldo's cheat meal and, according to former Manchester United goalkeeper Lee Grant, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner tends to eschew most sweet options, including desserts at a team meal. "You finish your dinner and usually on a Friday night you've got some cheat stuff out. You’ve got some apple crumble or you’ve got a bit of brownie and cream or what not," said Grant. "I tell you now, not one player touched the apple crumble and custard, not one player went up for that brownie because everybody was sat down and one of the lads said to me, ‘What has Cristiano got on his plate?’ “So we were having a little goosey gander at what he has got and obviously it is the cleanest, most healthy plate you can imagine. It just cracked me up how not one single player dared get up and have that junk food that was laid out.” What other secrets does Cristiano Ronaldo have? Healthy living is not something that Ronaldo dedicates a few hours to each day - it's a way of life he adheres to at all times. Discipline That is not only a physical challenge but a mental one, too. "Learn to train your mind as well as your body," Ronaldo says. "Mental strength is just as important as physical strength and will help you achieve your goals. "Be disciplined. Keeping yourself motivated and sticking to your routine is key. For me, there is no room for easing off, so I have to be strict." You can help yourself by setting goals and working with a training partner, adding competitiveness and company to your routine. When he is not exercising Ronaldo tries to maintain a relaxed, restful lifestyle despite his massive fame and the attention he commands. "Training and physical sessions are most important, but living a relaxed lifestyle helps you to be the best you can be, physically and mentally," Ronaldo explains. "I spend my free time with family and friends, which keeps me relaxed and in a positive mindset." Regular naps Something unique in Ronaldo's fitness regime is that he does not sleep for the traditional eight hours a day. Rather, instead, he chooses to take five 90-minute naps a day. Says Professor Littlehales in his book "Sleep: The Myth of 8 Hours, the Power of Naps... and the New Plan to Recharge Your Body and Mind": it is better for athletes to take five naps each day consisting of 90 minutes each instead of a full night's sleep. According to the Daily Mail, Ronaldo takes this advice of forced rest seriously and it even became a running gag with a celebration when he was in his second spell at Manchester United. Cold therapy & heat therapy Like many athletes in the 21st century, Ronaldo is someone who takes his recovery periods very seriously and a part of this is cryotherapy, or cold-temperature therapy. This can take the form of using a cryochamber, where temperatures are managed at a very low level or ice baths. As well as cold therapy, it is not unusual to see Ronaldo partake in heat therapy too, whether that is spending time in a sauna or using heat massage tools. https://www.goal.com/en/news/cristiano-ronaldo-diet-workout-fitness-regime-real-madrid/1ez74ip78o20715bzr1947rwhi

Ox, (Bos taurus, or B. taurus primigenius), a domesticated form of the large horned mammals that once moved in herds across North America and Europe (whence they have disappeared) and Asia and Africa, where some still exist in the wild state. South America and Australia have no wild oxen. Oxen are members of the Bovidae family. The castrated male of B. taurus is a docile form especially useful as a draft animal in many less developed parts of the world. Oxen are also used for food in some areas. Brown Swiss, cattle breed native to Switzerland and probably one of the oldest breeds in existence. While these cattle are classified as a dairy breed in the United States, they are often considered a dual-purpose breed elsewhere, as they are heavier boned and thicker fleshed than the cattle of the other dairy breeds. The colour of the Brown Swiss varies from light brown or gray to dark shades of these colours. Brown Swiss cows are good, persistent milkers, producing milk of average butterfat content as compared with other breeds of dairy cattle. This breed has found favour in Italy, Austria, Hungary, the United States, Mexico, and the South American countries. Brown Swiss were first introduced into the U.S. in 1869. Aurochs, (Bos primigenius), extinct wild ox of Europe, family Bovidae (order Artiodactyla), from which cattle are probably descended. The aurochs survived in central Poland until 1627. The aurochs was black, stood 1.8 metres (6 feet) high at the shoulder, and had spreading, forward-curving horns. Some German breeders claim that since 1945 they have re-created this race by crossing Spanish fighting cattle with longhorns and cattle of other breeds. Their animals, however, are smaller and, though they resemble the aurochs, probably do not have similar genetic constitutions. The name aurochs has sometimes been wrongly applied to the European bison, or wisent (Bison bonasus). https://www.britannica.com/animal/ox-mammal-Bos-taurus

Death toll in Gaza reaches 30,410, says health ministry At least 30,410 Palestinians have been killed and 71,700 injured in Israeli strikes on Gaza since 7 October, the Gaza health ministry said in a statement on Sunday. Most of the casualties have been women and children, the ministry has said, and thousands more bodies are likely to remain uncounted under rubble across Gaza. The Israeli military said on Sunday it intensified operations in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, with the air force and artillery hitting about 50 targets within six minutes, it said, in an attempt to “intensify operational achievements in the area”. “During the strikes, the troops destroyed terrorist infrastructure and eliminated Hamas terrorists who were operating from civilian facilities in urban areas,” it said. Opening summary Welcome to our latest live coverage of the Israel-Gaza war and wider Middle East crisis. Here’s an overview of the latest news. A Hamas delegation arrived in Cairo, the Egyptian capital, on Sunday to hold ceasefire talks on Gaza, a senior official told Reuters, after talks took place in Doha, the Qatari capital, on Saturday. The delegation is being led by Hamas’ deputy chief in Gaza, Khalil Al-Hayya, the official said. Israel is reported to be close to accepting a six-week ceasefire proposal for Gaza, a senior Biden administration official told several US news outlets on Saturday. The official said there was a “framework deal” and Israel had “more or less accepted” a ceasefire to allow for the release of Hamas-held hostages in Gaza and to allow aid into the territory that has been devastated by four months of bombardment, killing more than 30,000 people. However, the official said a “defined category of vulnerable hostages” had not yet been agreed – a sticking point to an agreement. In the Red Sea, the US military confirmed on Saturday that the UK-owned vessel Rubymar had sunk after being struck by an anti-ship ballistic missile fired by Yemeni Houthi militants on 18 February. “The approximately 21,000 metric tons of ammonium phosphate sulfate fertilizer that the vessel was carrying presents an environmental risk in the Red Sea,” US Central Command said. In other developments: Israeli forces struck tents housing displaced Palestinians near a hospital in Rafah, killing 11 people and injuring dozens on Saturday, according to Gaza’s health officials. A paramedic was among those killed and children were also injured in the strikes, which occurred near the Emirati maternity hospital, a spokesperson for the Gaza health ministry said. The US air force began airdrops of aid over Gaza on Saturday in a joint operation with Jordan in a last-resort attempt to get food into the besieged strip as mass starvation looms. US and Jordanian planes dropped 38,000 meals in the first of a series of airdrops that US President Joe Biden announced on Friday, US officials said. Israeli forces arrested 14 members of the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS), the organisation said. In a tweet on Saturday, it said: “PRCS expresses deep concern for the safety of its detained teams, whose fate remains unknown, and calls on the international community to urgently intervene to pressure the Israeli occupation authorities to immediately release our detained colleagues.” The US vice-president, Kamala Harris, will meet with Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz on Monday, a White House official told Reuters. The meeting was expected to cover topics including reducing Palestinian casualties, securing a temporary ceasefire, hostage release and an increase in aid flow. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/mar/03/middle-east-crisis-live-hamas-ceasefire-talks-israel-gaza-latest-live-updates-news

The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest living cat species and a member of the genus Panthera. It is most recognisable for its black stripes on orange fur with a white underside. An apex predator, it primarily preys on ungulates, such as deer and wild boar. It is territorial and generally a solitary but social predator, requiring large contiguous areas of habitat to support its requirements for prey and rearing of its offspring. Tiger cubs stay with their mother for about two years and then become independent, leaving their mother's home range to establish their own. The tiger was first scientifically described in 1758. It once ranged widely from the Eastern Anatolia Region in the west to the Amur River basin in the east, and in the south from the foothills of the Himalayas to Bali in the Sunda Islands. Since the early 20th century, tiger po[CENSORED]tions have lost at least 93% of their historic range and have been extirpated from Western and Central Asia, the islands of Java and Bali, and in large areas of Southeast and South Asia and China. What remains of the range where tigers still roam free is fragmented, stretching in spots from Siberian temperate forests to subtropical and tropical forests on the Indian subcontinent, Indochina and a single Indonesian island, Sumatra. The tiger is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. India hosts the largest tiger po[CENSORED]tion. Major reasons for po[CENSORED]tion decline are habitat destruction, habitat fragmentation and poaching. Tigers are also victims of human–wildlife conflict, due to encroachment in countries with a high human po[CENSORED]tion density. The tiger is among the most recognisable and po[CENSORED]r of the world's charismatic megafauna. It featured prominently in the ancient mythology and folklore of cultures throughout its historic range and continues to be depicted in modern films and literature, appearing on many flags, coats of arms and as mascots for sporting teams. The tiger is the national animal of India, Bangladesh, Malaysia and South Korea. Etymology The Middle English tigre and Old English tigras derive from Old French tigre, from Latin tigris. This was a borrowing of Classical Greek τίγρις 'tigris', a foreign borrowing of unknown origin meaning 'tiger' and the river Tigris.[4] The generic name Panthera is derived from the Latin word panthera and the Ancient Greek word πάνθηρ pánthēr.[5] Taxonomy In 1758, Carl Linnaeus described the tiger in his work Systema Naturae and gave it the scientific name Felis tigris.[2] In 1929, the British taxonomist Reginald Innes Pocock subordinated the species under the genus Panthera using the scientific name Panthera tigris.[6][7] Subspecies Following Linnaeus's first descriptions of the species, several tiger zoological specimens were described and proposed as subspecies.[8] The validity of several tiger subspecies was questioned in 1999. Most putative subspecies described in the 19th and 20th centuries were distinguished on the basis of fur length and colouration, striping patterns and body size, hence characteristics that vary widely within po[CENSORED]tions. Morphologically, tigers from different regions vary little, and gene flow between po[CENSORED]tions in those regions is considered to have been possible during the Pleistocene. Therefore, it was proposed to recognize only two tiger subspecies as valid, namely P. t. tigris in mainland Asia, and P. t. sondaica in the Greater Sunda Islands. Mainland tigers are described as being larger in size with generally lighter fur and fewer stripes, while island tigers are smaller due to insular dwarfism, with darker coats and more numerous stripes.[9] The stripes of island tigers may break up into spotted patterns.[10] This two-subspecies proposal was reaffirmed in 2015 by a comprehensive analysis of morphological, ecological and molecular traits of all putative tiger subspecies using a combined approach. The authors proposed recognition of only two subspecies, namely P. t. tigris comprising the Bengal, Malayan, Indochinese, South Chinese, Siberian and Caspian tiger po[CENSORED]tions of continental Asia, and P. t. sondaica comprising the Javan, Bali and Sumatran tiger po[CENSORED]tions of the Sunda Islands. The continental nominate subspecies P. t. tigris constitutes two clades: a northern clade composed of the Siberian and Caspian tiger po[CENSORED]tions, and a southern clade composed of all other mainland po[CENSORED]tions. The authors noted that this two-subspecies reclassification will impact tiger conservation management.[11] It would make captive breeding programs and future re-wilding of zoo-born tigers easier, as one tiger po[CENSORED]tion could then be used to reinforce another. However, there is the risk that the loss of subspecies uniqueness could lead to less protection efforts for specific po[CENSORED]tions.[12] In 2017, the Cat Classification Task Force of the IUCN Cat Specialist Group revised felid taxonomy in accordance with the two-subspecies proposal of the comprehensive 2015 study, and recognized the tiger po[CENSORED]tions in continental Asia as P. t. tigris, and those in the Sunda Islands as P. t. sondaica.[13] This two-subspecies view is still disputed by researchers, since the currently recognized six living subspecies can be distinguished genetically.[12] Results of a 2018 whole-genome sequencing of 32 samples support six monophyletic tiger clades corresponding with the six living subspecies and indicate they descended from a common ancestor around 110,000 years ago.[14] Studies in 2021 and 2023 also affirmed the genetic distinctiveness and separation of these tigers.[15][16] The following tables are based on the classification of the species Panthera tigris provided in Mammal Species of the World,[8] and also reflect the classification used by the Cat Classification Task Force in 2017:[13] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger
