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.

Do you have any proof where bengal tiger were larger than siberian tiger ? I don't think scientifically its correct statement
The reason I posted the images is because it has verified measurements from the past 130 years or more.
Body length, chest girth, shoulder height and weight. Guate did a phenomonal job at providing the info to compare in a easy fashion.
So to answer your question about Proof.
Yes, That table is proof for me because it has so many measurements to compare and for such a long period of time.
Can I ask you the same question, can you provide proof that shows amurs being larger than Bengals at any point in history?
Trust me when I say that I love Amurs, I used to think they were the massive cat of legends, the 300kg averaged monsters we were always taught about. But I have been looking at body weight and measurements for a long time now, the numbers just didn't add up.
If you have other measurements I haven't seen and they show the Amur being larger than the bengal, I would be extatic. The Amur is probably my Favorite Cat, so if I found something that gave them an edge over the bengal, I'd be happy with it.
DNA samples of Bengal tigers polluted by genes of the Siberian Tiger
