Amur Tigers

Co-predators and competitors in the Russian Far East:

Returning to the point of this topic, some of you remember when I made a comparative image of the Bengal tiger, its co-predators and competitors and resulted in a success. The image inspired me to make a new one, but this time with the mammal predators of the Russian Far East, using the measurements and pictures from specimens in the area. Here is the result:

As we can see, the tiger is the biggest obligated carnivore in the area and only the brown bear pose a serious competition for resourses. Impresive as it is, tiger is always the biggest mammalian carnivore in any of its habitats.

For those which may believe that the tiger is bigger, actually the bear is, the tiger only looks bigger because of its morphology, however the modern Amur tiger (at least until 2012) is more slender and the tiger in my comparative image reflect more the old giants of the area, with bigger chest and more massive.

I hope you like it, save it for future references. Greetigns to all. Reply
