Hello again Peter, can you please show me the information, post or document, showing the data of this great tiger?

This figure suggest that Amur tiger may be returning to its old glory.

Hello, my friend. Nice to see you here once again. Hope you're doing ok.  

As to the question. Our member 'Betty' informed me about the tiger in a PM. China, as you may know, recently created a few large reserves in the northeastern region and informs those interested in a series broadcasted on what could be (not sure) a regional channel. According to 'Betty', the tiger was weighed and measured by a biologist. He's the one informing the public about tigers in the new reserves (China now has about 60 Amur tigers). 

There's not much known about the length and weight of wild Amur tigers today, but a researcher working in Russia recently said male Amur tigers (sample size 8 or 9) average about 206 kg (455 pounds). I asked our member 'Khan', who contacted the researcher, to post the information in this thread.

I've been working on a table with information about the length, weight and skull length of captive Amur tigers. I finished the table a few days ago and will post it this week in this thread. Reply
