RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 09-24-2017
Same male as above. He is 11 yo at this photo. He was 8 yo at the photo above
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 09-24-2017
kruger 2.5 yo
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 09-24-2017
Amur male Igor, 5yo, 220 kg
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Spalea - 09-24-2017
@Amnon242 :
About #981: I note the flexibilty of the thumb claw of the right front leg, the claw being quite perpendicular to the axe of the leg (radius and ulna bones).
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 09-25-2017
Same male as above, 9 yo. This tiger is very muscular with almost no fat

How in the world did that happen? He looks quite big but a bit scruffy. Maybe he was sick?

Photos are very misleading. In fact he was probably the smallest adult lion I have ever seen. He was old and the lioness scratched him badly. He died of a blood poisoning

estimate the race of this male
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Spalea - 09-25-2017
@Amnon242
About #990: very fair coat, stripes not very marked, I would say siberian tiger...

His tail says that he does have Amur blood (can't be Caspian, right?)..With bengal parentage.
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Polar - 09-25-2017
Siberian-Bengal mix? I'd say more on the Siberian side, though, going from characteristics.
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 09-26-2017
Its amur - sumatran mix (yes, he doesnt look sumatran at all). His name was Timur. His coat points to amur ancestors, his smallish size (I estimate him to be 180 kg max) points to sumatran tigers. He had to be excluded from breeding program and he has been replaced by Igor (see above), who is pure amur.
Photos are misleading - Timur looks more robust than Igor (and in fact he was) and you would say that Timur is probably heavier. But photos dont show the striking difference in height and lenght - Igor is completely different league.

another photo of Timur
