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.

Vladik.

Know more about him at: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2017/11/vladik-vladivostok-russia-far-east-siberian-tiger-spd/
Looks like this body construction is typical for young amur males.

Even when border guards fired warning shots, the predator refused to leave.

@peter  can you post the links here where you talked about the head length and the skull length of some captive Amurs in a zoo that Mazak measured? For some unknown reasons, I can't find them anymore.

The information you want is in the tiger extinction thread. Most unfortunately, that thread has no index. This means you have no option but to read all posts. Not a terrible ordeal for those interested in tigers, but it will take quite a bit of time. 

At the moment, I'm busy. In some time, I will post a table with measurements. Contact me in a few weeks from now.

Hello people, I am new to this forum

I am going to post some information on Manchurian tigers from the book, The Naturalist in Manchuria



*This image is copyright of its original author


This is the author, Arthur De Carle Sowerby



*This image is copyright of its original author


The introduction


*This image is copyright of its original author


The Manchurian tiger is the most dreaded of carnivores but he is also the finest, largest and most formidable. He is also the most valuable of his kind. Chinese believe that the tiger's body parts can give properties of rare powers.


*This image is copyright of its original author


The tiger has been hunted till he is almost extinct



*This image is copyright of its original author


The Manchurian tiger reaches great sizes. The author, Sowerby once saw a skin which was well over 12 feet. A tiger shot in Vladivostok was estimated to be 13 ft 5 inch.

I wonder if he measured between the pegs or over the curves.
10'5" is a huge Tiger between the pegs.
