The prey of the Amur tiger - new table:

In this table, from the document "Tooth breakage in tigers: cause for conflict?" from Goodrich et al. (2012), the Siberian Tiger Project (STP) offers for first time its table about the average body weight of the bears in the Sikhote-Alin region. Check it out:

Although they use the same source for the Wild boar, this table presents a higher body mass, and I agree, as those boars from the Russian Far East are reported to be huge, so a puny average of 120 kg will not reflect the weight of an average full grow boar.

As for the bear, the assumption of peter seems correct, as the STP present a higher average body mass for the male brown bear and a lower body mass for the female. I think that this data from 2012 is more reliable. I will try to found more data, writing to Dr Goodrich, let's see what I can get, whish me look. [img]images/smilies/wink.gif[/img]
