ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - A - THE TIGER (Panthera tigris)

[tigerluver]

Heavy males (from the 270 kg specimens to the alleged 389 kg male) in history are almost always cattle killers and of the sort. The Panna males were confirmed cattle killers last I checked, and see how large they were.

Biologically speaking, size is a burden on its own. The rewards only outweigh the costs if either the size makes catching prey easier or outcompeting other predators (most exemplified in bears). Reply
