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.

Hello guys
The information about wild amur tigers was shared to me by a researcher of modern and extinct animals.
These are his exact words -
¨...Amur tigers from my sample average 223 kg (n = 17).¨
¨...50% of the data comes from captive individuals while the other half comes from wild specimens, as far as I can recall to you (I am not allowed to share much of the data freely). The wild specimens averaged around 206 kg, with the largest being larger than the largest amur tiger recorded in literature (212 kg). I would have to check my database to see the precise value this specimen weighed in excess off.¨
