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.

In Zoo Prague they have 4 malayan tigers (2 male) and 3 sumatrans (1 male). Malayan tigers are obviously larger (both genders). Well...malayan females are obviously larger, sumatran male is stocky so his weight can be close to the weight of malayan males (but most probably no more), who are taller and longer (but more lean). Id personally estimate the males around 140 kg. Maybe the data on wild specimen say someting else...
