Hello again Peter, can you please show me the information, post or document, showing the data of this great tiger?

This figure suggest that Amur tiger may be returning to its old glory.

Based on the recent camera trap photos and videos I've seen from the Russian Far East and Northeast China, I definitely think that wild Amur tigers are returning to their old glory. Some recently captured (on video/camera traps) adult male tigers from Russia/China look huge, healthy and very robust and powerful.

There is a huge male tiger from the Khabarovsk region, which Russian biologists call the "monster tiger", with a very large heel width that suggests he may be close to 300 kg in weight.

Recently, a young male Amur tiger aged 2-3 years old, weighing 225 kg (496 lbs) was captured in Northeast China. The tiger attacked a villager and smashed in a car window:

"Center officials said that the tiger was a healthy male around two or three years of age. It weighed 225 kilograms (about 496 pounds)."

"The wild tiger strayed into a village in Heilongjiang on April 23, injuring a local resident. It was captured and transferred to the animal breeding center for assessment. It was found to be a male, two to three years old and weighing approximately 225 kg."

Here's two more articles reporting that this young male tiger weighs 225 kg:

This tiger is only a adolescent male, and he already weighs 225 kg. Imagine when he's a full-grown prime male! Reply
