Amur Tigers

[Roflcopters]

tigers are a product of their environment and based on those environmental factors, tiger averages will vary differently compared to their early recovery stages vs the present day recovery stage. which in North East China has been incredible, it's both commendable and convincing to be able to witness the specie rebound from the brink of extinction and is now backed by conservation programs that are helping to meet the prey base, increased protection by the number of frequent patrols and camera trap locations in just about every corner of the park. North East China also introduced large ungulate prey species to keep tigers under ideal conditions and their overall appearance is just another perk that they are starting to show.

here is an Amur from North East China from 2 summers ago, June/22/2021. very impressive specimen given the time of the year and not your average Amur that appears much larger because of the winter coat. how much this tiger weighs is another question but i'd be willing to bet that this particular group of Amurs are perhaps the biggest overall and if the same amount of protection and habitat restoration takes place involving the rest of their kind. they too will recover and more or less, weigh just about the same as Bengals on average. these limitations that we associate them with aren't real numbers. there really is no way to determine what a true healthy weight is under these conditions with lack of data. however based on things said and witnessed by Dr.Feng Limin. these tigers are making a huge comeback and weight al though may be a big issue for some, in the real world. the specie is recovering and making a huge comeback and that in my opinion is the biggest win-win situation for all of enthusiasts. hopefully in due time, we will get our hands on more data involving this group.
