Sorry, the recently radiocollared Sumatran male tiger "Slamet" did not have any measurement reported, just the weight (148.2 kg).

According with Mazák (1983), a large Sumatran male tiger can measure up to 170 cm in head-body "between pegs" and this male certainly looks like that size.


I can guess, based in the few specimens available, that Sumatran and Javanese tigers were of the same average size, with some Javanese reaching the top line. Balinese tigers are so few on record, but based in all the skulls available, they definitely were of the same size of the smaller Sumatran and Javanese specimens. I am not taking in count any body size reported for the Balinese tigers for this assumption, they are not 100% reliable, with many issues still to discuss.
