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.

Captive bengals are 185 kg, while captive amurs are around 220 kg....and some captive amurs reach extreme sizes...
wild bengals @ 210 kilos & captive bengals @ 185 kilos? woah! where did you get all these figures from? there is no relaibale data of any sort available today.
as of captive animals it is impossible to maintain pure genepool unless there's an inexhaustible supply of gene from the wild & AFAIK India doesn't part away with its tigers. I doubt if there's any pure Amur in captivity today.
