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

[Amnon242]

Malayan and sumatran tigers from zoo Prague (always the same male). As I said before, both these tigers are around 140 kg (my estimate, it can be 120 kg as well, I just dont know). If I had to choose the heavier one, Id go with the malayan, who is taller and longer, but sumatran appears more robust, so the weight difference is probably smaller than it seems at first sight.

BTW in a fight between these two particular tigers Id bet on malayan. This tiger is extremely agressive and dangerous. No one knows why. He came from Malaysia as 2yo...and it seems that he came with some kind of trauma. He probably wont have any cubs because at first opportunity he attacked the female and almost killed her.
