In the video, he says that the palm pads of male Amur tigers are typically from 10.5 to 13 cm wide. The largest palm pad width he has seen is 14.5 cm. That is from a giant male tiger! The huge male Amur tiger nicknamed "Beast" aka "The monster" tiger from the Khabarovsk territory in Far East Russia, who was famed for his immense size, had a huge palm pad width of 13.5 cm. But a male Amur tiger from Northeast China has a even larger palm pad width of 14.5 cm. Indicating that there are even bigger Amur tigers out there than the 'Beast'.
