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.

a - The measurement and weight of the Chinese tiger in your previous post
 
You posted the same picture (referring to the tiger in post 1,474) some time ago. Back then, however, the numbers (length and weight) were different. I want to use the information, as there's not much reliable information about the size of Panthera tigris amoyensis. 

Can you get to a conclusion on that particular male tiger? The more you find, the better. Thanks.

b - The intention of this thread

This thread is dedicated to wild tigers. Information about captive tigers can be used at times, but only when we have no other option. Example. 

It is not possible to measure the actual standing height of wild tigers. For this reason, biologists measure the length of the front leg. As they use different methods, the results often are confusing. In order to get to some clarity, I decided to post the table from Mazak's book ('Der Tiger'). The photographs you and Amnon posted were much appreciated, as they show that the actual standing height of captive Amur tigers, as Mazak concluded, is impressive at times.

In order to answer your question, I'll do one more post on an exceptional captive tiger. After that post, I propose to return to wild tigers.
