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.

Hunchun reserve 
Laoyeling reserve 
Huangnihe reserve
Southwest Primorye Krai
Sikhot-Alin

Do you know any tiger weights captured in the first 4 reserves ? First 3 reserves are from China, other 2 are from Russia. Are all the amur tiger weights come from Sikhot-Alin only? It would be interesting to see the weights from other reserves. 

The tigers from other 4 reserves seem to be bigger than Sikhot-Alin tigers.

Sadly, all the modern records that I have came from Sikhote-Alin and the Ussuri reserve. No figures from China at this moment, not fully 100% confirmed at least.

However, old records suggest that Manchurian tigers were among the biggest on record, so I am fully open to the idea that north China tigers can develop, with time, the large sizes that at this moment are only reported in India/Nepal.
