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.

Malayan tiger (Panthera tigris jacksoni) in Singapore island. The Malayan tiger is the smallest mainland Asian tiger subspecies.
Malayan tiger shot on 10/26/1930. It was killed in Choa Chu Kang Village, Singapore island and it weighted 106.5 kg. I think this is the last wild tiger in Singapore.
Wikipedia says "Body length taken from 16 female tigers in the State of Terengganu ranged from 70 to 103 in (180 to 260 cm) and averaged 80.1 in (203 cm). Their height ranged from 23 to 41 in (58 to 104 cm), and their body weight from 52 to 195 lb (24 to 88 kg). Data from 21 males in the State of Terengganu showed that total length ranged from 75 to 112 in (190 to 280 cm), with an average of 94.2 in (239 cm). Their height ranged from 24 to 45 in (61 to 114 cm), and their body weight from 104 to 284.7 lb (47.2 to 129.1 kg)".

This is the specimen of the last tiger of Singapore. But I am not 100% sure, because description on glasses says it was a man-eating tiger shots in Sumatra island.
