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.

Estimations and guesses. I have never seen any reliable and solid weights. Practically any big cat can look huge in photos, especially when it is there alone with nothing good to compare with. Are some of these tigers really huge or average, impossible to say only from some photos. For sure some are bigger than others, but what does it mean in weight is a good question. When looking at some big tigers (mentioned as big in different articles) same tiger can have estimations like 250 kg,300 kg or even more. So nobody knows in reality. That´s why I´m quite cautious to take estimations too seriously unless there is some well known expert who has seen certain tiger personally and in close range. Even then weight can be questionable, but at least then there is educated estimation and expert opinion, that some tiger really is exceptionally big in comparison with others. Same goes with other animals too of course.
