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.

Hard to say if Igor is the tallest tiger I have ever seen. For example this one is of similar height (but much more robust). And I have seen others of similar height. 

I used to be 187 cm when I was 20. Now Im something shorter - perhaps 183 - 185 cm (so average height of a man). "Is his shoulder height near your bellybutton" - could be, but I have never been in a postition to judge it.

Yes,You had once mentioned this tiger of 250 kg+ and was bit overweight

Definitely over 250 kg. I asked my friends to estimate the weight and they concluded that he is 300 kg if not more. My estimate was more conservative, but there was no doubt that he is over 250 kg. I heard how one visitor said "this tiger is twice as big as that lion" (there was a adult male lion of standard size in next enclosure).

He does have a tall frame despite the angle

Thats me. Igor is somewhat taller that this one...but the difference could be like 5 cm at most (hard to estimate something like that).

I think Igor should be 107-110 cm based on your height

I would say so. 

But obviously its difficult to estimate something like that. I saw those animals from different distance and from different angles...and in different days, so...

Yes, I could say that Igor is 110 cm, Simon is 108 cm, 1. white is 106 cm, 2. white is 109 cm...but such estimates have obviously limited value

So its concluded that Both Igor and 250 kg white are the tallest felids u've seen according to your personal observation.

BTW Rocky used to have very bad diet. He used to be morbidly obese. But the zoo (private) has been sold and new owner came with new people and they started to feed him properly so his body condition is improving. Anyway, he is long, tall and robust so even in good shape he would be 250 kg or more.

Could be, but I would add Rocky, Simon and perhpaps some others...Skip was also tall... same league (105 - 110 cm)

Now I remembered an amur called Caesar (or Cicero), son of Baikal, who was probably even taller. Unfortunately I dont have good photo of him.
