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.

Modern weights and measurements on wild tigers

What is interesting was the note from Hicks that tigers in hilly terrain generally have smaller paws compared to tigers from lower land even within the same area. He actually would use pugmarks to determine which way to trek large males. If the pugmarks were big he’d travel down and if they were small he’d travel up. Even though generally the Tigers up where more muscular and larger their pugmarks didn’t represent that. 
But with Amur’s they generally have larger pugmarks with smaller weights and their body isn’t as muscular but caries more fat. It must be an adaption to the snow, much the same as snow shoes. 

Another interesting note that I’ve read from numerous researchers now is that Tigers have terrible smell. Without a doubt their most important senses are sight and sound. This also must be reflected in their skills which have smaller nasal cavities compared to Lions.
