Experience with Wild Cats

You're right. The more fat part is probably true, it's a necessity for them. Though, maybe part of the reason is that all the giant Amurs we have on record date post 1940. I think's that the problem. They come from the population of only 20-30. The allegedly 325+ kg were pre-1940 for the most part. Yes, old records can be dubious, but throwing them out isn't the way to go either.

On the same token, maybe captive Bengals don't reach their wild maximum in captivity because the captive starter population was possibly inbred, and also lacked the large tiger genes.
