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.

What do you mean "size switch?"

Maybe you're speaking of the smaller size more recently compared to older Specimens I assume in amur?
My guess is the obvious Idea of prey availability and habitat loss.

Bengals are pretty much identical, but the minimum # of tigers captured recently compared to older ones captured, I would think the opportunity to have larger specimens in Bengals would definitely exist since there was only 13 individuals measured compared to 120 individuals from the past.
