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.

I remember the report because of the remarkable weight of the tiger. I tried to find out more, but came up empty.
The image on the left corresponds to the tiger that weighed 303 kg, the image on the right corresponds to another tiger that weighed 120 kg. Both images show that similar weighing scales were used, and taking into account the green scales, we can compare sizes between the two specimens.

Below is an image showing dimensions on a scale similar to that shown in the image on the right side.

So, it can be concluded that the tiger that weighed 303 kg was clearly a large specimen.
What are your thoughts?
