He would have to be by far the longest, tallest tiger to ever live to have the weight of 850lbs with that body type? He looks a bit skinny in the limb section (normal for a aging captive tiger) and also in the rear section. Normal again for a aging captive or wild cat. I wish we could find his confirmed body height, length, tail etc.
It would clear up a lot of questions I have.


DO you know where that Captive Amur Tiger table is? I will look, but I forgot where it is. It has more reasonable sizes of captive amurs with real measurements as well.
 

 

They weighed him at the age of 12, he was 850 pounds, but had already lost some weight.

I believe he should be close to 900 pounds during his prime, and a wild Bengal of his size will probably top 1000 pounds.

BTW, i don't have the table chart of the captive Amur tigers, but i think Guate or tigerluver might have it.

Anyway, the giant Baikal is neither overweighed nor extremely muscular, he is just a normal tiger with a prehistoric size.

With his body type, i bet he will be heavier if he lives in the wild, and he may have packed with some extra 50-100 pounds of muscle. Reply
