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.

Unfortunately, they never got an opportunity to weigh any of those Assam monsters.

Branders Tiger outsized any reliably measured wild Amur by a significant margin. Unfortunately Amurs data base is significantly smaller.


Many scientists don't want to risk their life to sedate any of those monsters, hence Amur's database still stuck with those smallish specimens from Sikhote-Alin.

It’s a shame since so many were hunted but never documented properly. Now they’re just a wasted fur rug somewhere.


Same applied to Bengal as we don't see any real monster got sedated, except the 550 pounds Madla which was a really old record, but none of the recent tigers got sedated.

But by judging the appearance of the recent Amur tigers, we can assume that they have become heavier and stockier as the wild condition of their natural habitat has been improved with more access to the rich protein.
