Named source

1967, Madzak, a famous tiger expert, compared the specimens collected by museums in European countries, and thought that the specimens from Amur basin to South Yellow River basin in Northeast Asia all belonged to the same subspecies. According to the specimens from the northernmost mountainous area of North Korea, Tengmingke named this subspecies P. t. altaica for the first time in an article published in 1844.

According to the priority principle of international animal nomenclature, Madzak proposed to restore this scientific name, and thought that the above-mentioned Maohu, Dongbei Tiger, Dongbei Tiger, Korean Tiger and north china tiger were the main pronouns of this subspecies, which were all invalid.
