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.

He is from the Masek Pride, so I will look up where they are inside the NCA.

  
50+ kg? Oh no...at this age he probably wont be any longer or taller...and he is already quite massive. Give him 20-30 kg max.

BTW I know about one amur tiger who is around 220 kg at the age of 2. According to you, he should be well over 300 kg in his prime :-)
Another example - I think you know the table with the data on growth of 3 bengal tigers (2 males, 1 female). The males were 200 kg at the age of 2...so again..they should hit 300 kg in their prime :-)
