Yes, this Amur tiger from the night video (second 42) looks quite robust somehow remind me Kaziranga tigers:

Probably in last decade Amurs are really getting a bit heavier, we need fresh scientific data.

Title of the video below is: "Brown bear at the tiger's poste box". This skinny bear obviously is trying to out-smell the tiger's mark on the tree. Its not first camera-trap showing that tigers and bears try to out-smell each other living their marks on same trees. Its probably kind of competition between different predators in Ussuri forest, even some grew wolves join this game.
