Caspian tigers, some of the largest cats that ever lived — up to 10 feet long and weighing more than 300 pounds — roamed through much of Central Asia before they were designated as extinct in the middle of the 20th century. But there is a chance that a subspecies of tiger that is nearly identical, genetically, to the Caspian could be restored to Central Asia.
