There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Although if we compare them with an Amur-Bengal tiger they looks small, they are still larger than any other big cat (except the lion). Remember how big looked the 148.2 kg Sumatran male "Slamet" in that picture posted here before. Interestingly, the heaviest captive male Sumatran tiger that I know is the male "Juma" with 131.4 kg from the Australia Zoo. I don't know other heavier specimen, maybe you could provide data on males of 150 kg in captivity, that will be excellent! [img]images/smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
I have no data about captive sumatran tigers, 150 kg is just my estimate. In my country there are 3 zoos with sumatran tigers and when I saw those tigers I thought "hmm...they are actually quite big".
I can ask the zoos...and if they give me any data, I will post them in sumatran tigers thread...
