There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

This photograph has been posted before. Although it belongs in the board on captive big cats, I posted it here as well. The reason is a number of measurements were known. Same for the weight:

203,00 cm. - Head and body length
084,00 cm. - Head circumference
190,00 kg. - Weight

Conclusion. This is about as average as it gets. Impressive at any rate:

I saw him...this tiger is called Jupiter and he is from ZOO Dvur Kralove in Czech. In the zoo there is a table which says that Jupiter was 196 kg when weighted.

Jupiter is tall, but lean. There is another male amur in that zoo, tiger called Skip. Skip is very old, he was 17 when i saw him (one year ago, Jupiter was 7), but still much, much bigger than Jupiter. Tall as Jupiter buch much more robust...a bear-like creature.

Interesting thing is that a son of Skip was 140 kg when he was 1 year old.

I have to apologize for wrong information. This tiger is not 196 kg Jupiter (btw I don´t know what was the age of Jupiter in the time of weighing). This tiger is called Semjon and he was weighted at the age of 17 (in 2009, he died in 2010). Btw height of this tiger was 105 cm.

Question: Semjon weighted 190 kg at the age of 17. What could be his prime weight?
