Biggest Kaziranga tiger?

[GrizzlyClaws]

With today's ecosystem, i doubt a big cat with the size of Baikal could survive in the wild.

Let's assume if he did live back in the Pleistocene era, he should have only few Cromerian lions/Smilodon populator/Ngandong tigers as the rivals. He should also have more muscle mass as the wild tigers always need to pack with more muscle for the hunting and struggling with the big preys.

In the early of this year, we actually managed to perceive that Baikal was in fact an almost exact doppelganger of the Ngandong tiger specimen with the 480mm femur.

I can say the Amur tiger still carries some recessive genes of the giant tiger, and in the captivity without facing the pressure as they did in the wild, they could manage to unleash more potential to produce more freak specimens.

There is chance that Baikal's offsprings might switch back to the normal sized captive Amurs, but still they have the chance or potential to produce something big.

BTW, Baikal's daughter is also huge, she weighs about 500 pounds. Reply
