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.

It's all about food intake.  While the density of tigers in Kaziranga is high, so is the density of prey animals there.  It is that simple.  The most robust individual tigers simply are the dominant males laying claim to the best hunting in the park.  If it feeds, it wll grow.  Even if wild Amur tigers have the potential to be larger than the tigers in Kaziranga, few of them enjoy the "all you can eat" buffet of prey that their southern cousins do.
