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.
Now I got clearance concerning tiger Yeltsin, many times written Jelzin too. He wasn´t weighed after all. I did send that article claiming, that he was 270 kg in my email and this is now final answer from Walter zoo:
"Sorry this went two ways..;-)
To be honest: nobody knows the exact weight, so its just an estimate from both sides. He was quite a big tiger for sure- the biggest we had in Gossau, but I still think that 270kg is overestimated when I look at the pictures.
For sure you can quote this.
All the best
