TWO MALE AMUR TIGERS CAPTURED ON VIDEO IN FEBRUARY 2022

This video ('How to capture the Amur tiger in the wild') was uploaded on YouTube by Bohai Tours in May 2024. The video (03:17) is from an American Tourist (Tom Ori), who flew from LA (USA) to Moscow and then to Vladivostok in February 2022. My guess is Tom was a client of Bohai Tours. 

On February 12, his camera captured a large male tiger in Lazo (01:29-02:03). Another male was captured on camera in what must have been the Land of the Leopard National Park (southwest of Vladivostok and just east of northeastern China) on February 23, 2022 (02:41-02:46).

Compared to the (photograph of the) young adult male tiger in my previous post, both males (referring to their limbs, necks and heads in particular) seem bigger in most respects. Could be a result of their winter coat, but their proportions suggest they were a bit older.     

It's all but impossible to get to an estimate, but my guess is both male tigers, weightwise, were well over par:
